Food is a wonderful focus at Christmas. Roast Turkey, succulent stuffing and all the trimmings. Mince pies, Christmas Pudding and brandy butter... all mouth watering indeed.
Get into the spirit of Christmas by trying out new recipes that we will be offering you in the next few days.
Let’s start with the legendary EGG NOG recipe:
Ingredients
-
1140ml/2 pints whole milk
-
6 free-range eggs
-
50g/2oz caster sugar
-
1 vanilla pod, split
-
20 fresh cherries, stones removed and halved
-
200ml/7fl oz brandy
-
cocoa powder, for dusting
Preparation method
-
Place the milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla pod in a medium pan and heat gently, without boiling, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
-
The egg nog can be chilled at this stage or served hot.
-
To serve, scatter the cherries in the bottom of each serving glass. Divide the brandy between the glasses and pour the egg nog over. Dust with cocoa powder and serve.
Recipe found on the BBC webpage.
Of course, you may skip the brandy altogether, but to some it may scare away the cold from their noses ;o)
If you try it out, please send us a photo of the result! See you tomorrow.
