Eggnog recipe

[Dutchie]

Can anyone help me with a good eggnog recipe?

Here in Holland we cannot buy eggnog anywhere.
It is just not a product that is sold in Holland.

On saying that I did once - many years ago - manage to find a very small carton of processed, sterilized eggnog. It was horrible!!
It was BTW the first and last time that I saw it in any store.

Please can anyone help me?
Thank you for any trouble taken.

I have the best eggnog recipe in the world- it's my grandma's, and I look forward to it every year.

Amy's Grandma's Eggnog recipe:
6 eggs, separated
1 cup sugar
1 pint whipping cream (or you can sub soft ice cream) -- I always use the whipping cream
1 pint half and half
1 1/2 cups liquor (whiskey, bourbon or the like) Grandma was known to stand by the bowl and pour in the alcohol, never measuring anything... hers could get a little strong!
1/4 cup rum
Nutmeg

(Of course you can leave out the alcohol completely if desired.)

Beat egg whites until fluffly. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar. In another bowl, beat egg yolks until fluffy. Add 1/2 cup sugar. Add cream, half and half, and liquor. Sprinkle with nutmeg.

I make this in a punchbowl, with the alcohol on the side for anyone who wants to spike their own. Enjoy!

I also posted this over at Homestead Gardens in response to a thread there a year or so ago, so if this looks familiar to you, that's why. And there's a link to it on my cooking blog, too.

Serve eggnog in a large punch bowl. *RAW EGG WARNING Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.

thank you for the recipes. Will have to do without the alcohol so ds can have some. Maybe I'll even try some when I make it.

Oh and I wanted to add that this will be a great way to use up some of the 5+ dozen eggs we have... lol
