Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 I found these from JILL NIENHISER webmistress for the WAPF. Make sure all your EGGS are from Mom's, Alvin, MVV or other good pastured source! I love it that the recipes from the Swingin' 60's were well loaded up with booze! Ha ha. Will This recipe is from the 1996 Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. It seems to have somewhat less sugar so might be helpful as you try to NT-ify any recipes you collect (And I think you could dispense with the 2T of sugar beaten into the cream). However, this recipe has you cook the egg yolks and throw out the whites. (My earlier 1989 edition of the same cookbook has you use 6 whole eggs, and specifies 2-4T each of the liquors, but it is still cooked.) Egg Nog 6 beaten egg yolks 2c milk 1/3c sugar 1-3T light rum 1-3T bourbon 1t vanilla 1c whipping cream 2T sugar In a large heavy saucepan mix the egg yolks, milk and 1/3 c sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture just coats a metal spoon. Remove from heat. Place the pan in a sink or bowl of ice water and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in rum, bourbon, and vanilla. Cover and chill for 4-24 hours. Just before serving, in a mixing bowl beat the cream and 2T sugar till soft peaks form. Transfer chilled egg mixture to a punch bowl and fold in the whipped cream mixture. Serve at once. Sprinkle each serving with nutmeg. Makes about 10 4oz servings. This is from the 1994 edition of Fannie Farmer and is more of the way I think of traditional egg nog, with the eggs separated and the whites beaten separately. This one is raw. It calls for a lot more sugar but I think you don't need as much as it calls for. I would also imagine you could replace some or all of the sugar with maple syrup or other replacements although they will contribute their own flavor. I made this one at Thanksgiving and it was delicious. Thankfully they did not replace this older recipe with a cooked version when they updated the cookbook. Eggnog 1 dozen eggs, separated 1/2 t salt 2 1/4 or more cups sugar 2 or more cups bourbon 1/2c rum 1qt milk 2T vanilla 3 pints heavy cream Nutmeg Beat together the egg yolks and salt in a large mixing bowl, slowing adding 1 1/2 c of the sugar. Continue beating until thick and pale. Stir in the bourbon, rum, milk, and vanilla until well mixed. Beat the egg whites until foamy and slowly add the remaining 3/4 c sugar, continue to beat until stiff and all the sugar is incorporated. Whip the cream until stiff. Now fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture and then fold in the whipped cream. Taste and add more bourbon and/or sugar if necessary. Pour into a bunch bowl and sprinkle the top with nutmeg. Makes 8 quarts. This is from Rodale's Basic Natural Foods Cookbook (1984). You might use only yolks or maybe two whole eggs and two yolks. Honey Eggnog 3c milk 4 eggs 3T honey freshly ground nutmeg Blend until smooth, garnish with nutmeg. 4-6 servings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I want to thank every one for all the eggnog help. I never did get it made! LOL. I got the flu. Thankfully though, I did not get it real bad but every one else did! Shows what eating the right kinds of foods will do for ya! Those who eat the SAD diet got the sickest! Still plan on making some when I get my next milk run for some fresh cream.
