Spoon-Worthy
Eggnog
Serves 10
is rich, creamy eggnog is the recipe my Uncle Bob made
famous in our large, extended family. My mom asked him
to teach her how to make it, and now she always makes it on
Christmas Eve. She has graciously passed the recipe down
to me. It's a bit of a spin on the traditional version. In fact,
it's so thick you have to eat it with a spoon! Nevertheless, it's
absolutely divine, and if your holidays are anything like mine,
you'll have half the guests asking for the recipe by the end of
the night.
