Last night as I was getting ready for bed, I was watching Martha Stewart's Holiday Special. It was disturbing. She made eggnog, which I really like, until I saw what goes into eggnog. Here is the recipe
Ingredients
- 12 eggs, separated
- 1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
- 1 quart whole milk
- 1 1/2 quarts heavy cream
- 3 cups bourbon
- 1/2 cup dark rum
- 2 cups cognac
- freshly grated nutmeg
I also realized that Martha is a drunkard. Why else would you add all this hard liquor to something so good and pure.

good and pure -- except for the raw eggs.
but that doesn't keep my kids from loving it.
I don't think I'll ever be able to make eggnog, now that I know how much crap goes in it, but I'm still willing to drink the stuff from the store.
ignorance is bliss
I go with the "light" eggnog. :)
And I'll stick with the pasteurized stuff from the store.
She probably is a drunk. Money. Fame. Cooking. Jail... hmmm
You just may be right about the drunkard. And the lunch lady's kids and my own get the eggnog desire from their dads.
I've always thought she was a drunkard! And I don't like any kind of eggnog. Yuck! But Josh LOVES it and I don't think they sell it in Ecuador. I just might have to make some for him. We'll see!
you are ambitious to make eggnog. Especially if you hate it.
