Amazingly Good Eggnog

"Due to health concerns about raw eggs, I've forgone eggnog for a number of years ... until I came across this recipe. The mixture is cooked so no danger from raw eggs. It's delicious! I usually keep some separate without rum for either kids or those who prefer no alcohol."

  1. Delicious. I made it without the rum because of the kids so it was a bit on the strong, sweet side -- possibly I should have put in extra milk to dilute it down a bit. But DH likes it strong and sweet so he enjoyed it. The only thing I might change another time is to use a bit of cinnamon stick because the ground cinnamon gave it aslightly muddy look that didn't appeal to me.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a grandmother who loves having the grandkids around. My son is currently living with me (on a short term basis) so I get to see and spend time with his kids more than I ever had, and that's a great thing. I love trying new recipes and since I have found RecipeZaar, the new dishes have been streaming. Sometimes I think the kids would prefer a little break, but until they speak up, it's something new for them about everytime they visit with us. I don't consider myself a 'cook,' I can only follow recipes. To me a cook is someone who can come up with their own recipes and have success at it (like my daughter).
