Hey there darling! Welcome to my kitchen. Here I share recipes from a real family that loves to grow and eat real food. Don't say you can't cook! You just haven't learned yet. I'm so happy to have a chance to encourage you in the journey to eating nourishing, whole foods!

I want to give you a laugh for today. (at least I think it's funny). My son who is in his mid50's occasionally makes a chowder out of Spam. We were a military family and the first thing he ever cooked was on bowling night and it was Spam, mac and cheese and peas. About 2 wks ago he had a hankering for Spam chowder. So off he went to the kitchen. He went to the cupboard for a can of evaporated milk and obviously he didn't know the difference and grabbed a can of sweetened condensed milk. My DIL calls me, hysterically laughing - to tell me the saga of my son's first experience with sweetened condensed milk. He tried to convince her that the chowder was great - - she said it was horrid and did I want to come over for a bowl. I declined rapidly know about what that would taste like. God love him - I don't think I ever cooked with canned milk at all back in the day. She has now hidden away all the sweetened condensed where only she knows the location. I hope you see the humor in this - when you added it to the hot chocolate - I started to laugh even now.
Thanks, I loved that! My husband's mother made a great dish called garbanzo beans and rice. I remember deciding that I wanted to make it for him when she was gone. So I asked her to show me how to make it and god love her She started leaving out ingredients while I was watching her make it. And I guess she put them in later when I was out of the kitchen So it took watching her deliberately 5 times 2 note everything in the recipe. Years later, she has passed and my husband decides that he's going to make her recipe and I asked if he needed me to get it out for him and he said no. He knew what she put in there. All I know is he put in paprika and salt. He made the garbanzo beans taste like popcorn. He insisted the color she gave the sauce came from paprika not tomato paste. I refused to eat it. And of course, he refused to admit he was wrong and ate all of it. I think it was ten years before he admitted that it didn't taste like hers. ;) (He left out the paste, cilanto, onion, cornstarch, beef bullion cube. She didnt put paprike or salt in it!)
@@lyndelgado6138 Hahaha - When we married we were very financially strapped - my husband was just back from 'Nam and was a SGT and I was a PFC - in those days military didn't make a decent wage. He found, on his base, a place where WWII rations were stored and bless his soul he brought case after case home and made at least something that filled us up. I didn't know how to do much more than boil water - so it was much needed. When I think of that now - I sure appreciate the one year + of groceries that I have in my prepper pantry. He is gone now, but still remember some of the dishes he made out of C-rations.
I literally just like last week figured out the difference between evaporated and sweet and condensed😂 I'm not sure how it got by me, but I've been cooking from scratch most of my life45 years 😂
Thankyou. That was great! I tought myself how to cook. Mostly with cookbooks and magazine recipes. My grandmother loved my mistakes stories. Her first question was what are you up to today/how are you doing? The second question was always what have you been making? I have done some doozies. When I would leave "don't forget to flour your pan." When she passed I got her Canadian cookbook. No flour amounts in any baked good. Always share your cooking mistakes. It gives you the chance to laugh at yourself and sharing helps others to not make the same mistakes. Chocolate bowls made from a martha stewart magazine. As the balloons cool they explode spraying choclate like a bomb. 20 years later my mom still finds choclate on the ceiling in the adjacent room! It was awful at the time but hilarious later.
Don't forget the egg in a Brownie mix. It made a Brownie brick. My dad and brother took hockey sticks, knives, axes....yeah we threw the pan out. Nothing worked. Muffins with baking soda instead of baking powder. Only do that if you want to send people to the garbage to spit it out.lol.
That was my first baking experience. I think it set the tone.
@@user-js8vi6pp3t Though I was raised in the rural area of Western Maryland, my mother was raised in Baltimore in a totally different existence. She went to work as a postmaster when I started first grade.She was far from a country cook. So consequently, I wasn't allowed in the kitchen while she was preparing our evening meal. I could barely boil water when I married a country boy. Being in the military, never stationed near home I finally learned to cook little by little from other military wives -- So my recipes come from all corners of the globe. I hardly cook anymore as it is just me.
Helpful tip 😁 When we make eggnog, we put the egg yolks, sugar, and milk in the instant pot. We press the yogurt button and set it to boil. It does not actually boil, but it brings all of the ingredients up to temp and you do not need to sit there and stir. Because it is the ‘yogurt’ setting it does not seem to ‘burn’ the milk. We will mix all of the ingredients, tell it to start, and walk away. When it beeps it is done! Doing it this way I have not had any of the ‘clumps / cooked eggs’ in the bottom of the pan.
Going to try that thanks
As kids, on Christmas Eve, we got to open one small present after bath and pajama time was done. Mom would make hot chocolate in a pan and we had a mug of that piled high with little marshmallows, while we opened our little gift in front of the fire. A warm and cozy memory, even all these years later! Happy Holidays everyone! 🎄🎅❤⛄
How do you always know what I'm making on the day I'm making it!? 😂 I'm making wassail for those of us still at work today via your old videos.
😊
We would be under the table…. 😂, I had a visual of the kids sitting around the table sipping on eggnog, mom and dad on the floor under the table tipsy laughing! Thank you for your real demonstrations. Christmas blessings for you and your family.
I love hearing peoples Christmas traditions! You get so many great ideas! My family also does Wassel… But we also enjoy piña coladas… In fact, it’s not Christmas without them lol when I was a child We spent the Christmas holiday in Hawaii. Mom made virgin piña coladas, we drank them on the beach. Now, regardless of where we are for the season, together or apart, we all share a phone chat and a piña colada lol.🥰🫶🎄 happy Christmas to everyone have a safe and enjoyable holiday.
Those look delicious! I'm actually making Wassail for the first time this year. The recipe I found is very similar to yours but also uses some cranberry juice and suggests the option of adding some brewed black tea if you'd like a caffeinated drink. It calls for cooking it on low in the crock pot on Christmas Eve and then it's ready for Christmas morning. Just wanted to share some variations if anyone wants to play around with different options.
I had an uncle who always made an aged egg nog. He never would share the recipe. Sadly he’s passed on now and oh how we miss him and his holiday nog, that’s what he called it. He brought it to thanksgiving and Christmas and each had a slightly different taste. I’m going to try making it just to see if I can replicate the Christmas one which was heavier on the cinnamon than the thanksgiving one. He was in the navy for years and got to travel the world and always had such lovely stories to tell. He was a “foodie” before it was a thing. Enjoy your time with your family this holiday season.
I followed your recipe for eggnog for Christmas! Made it the night before so it had plenty of time to chill. Our 93 year old grammy approved! This was also a great way to teach a young child how youtube can help teach cooking.
Jess, you are the only person who is allowed to call me Darlin' ... and it makes me feel like you're my fun aunt who teaches me how to grow and use real food. Always brings a smile to my face. It looks like I need to make some festive drinks! Thank youuuu!
😂😂😂 I'm not wild about being called "darling" or "sweetheart" by people I don't know either...except by Jess! It's perfectly fine! 😊 I get real bent out of shape if a man calls me sweetheart...seems prevalent among some salespeople. 😡
@@revonda5204 YES EXACTLY. and Sis ... don't you dare call me Sis 🤮
@HabitualHobbies don't know if had that pleasure....🤣🤣🤣 I probably wouldn't be real happy with that either.
@revonda5204 lol that's fair. I hope you don't ever have to endure the experience
We don’t really have any traditions , something I’d love to change.
Thanks for sharing Jess ♥️
Thank you so much, Jess! I love this new channel of yours. I’ve been a long time follower of yours on roots and refuge and really liked your cooking segments and so I’m thrilled that you’ve made a channel just for that. I am definitely going to try all three of these recipes this weekend for the holidays with my family. Thank you so much! Merry Christmas. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed holiday weekend.!❤️
My mother always made raw eggnog but she whipped the heavy cream with sugar and folded it all together. As it was dipped up from the punch bowl, everyone's cup was topped with the foamy cream. We kids loved the "mustaches" from drinking it.
Hi Jess, I make my egg nog with the same recipe as you except I use six egg yolks. However I have never preheated the milk. I whip the yolks and sugar in a heavy pot then add the milk cold. Then I heat the whole thing up gradually to the simmering stage, remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream. It’s delicious and I use just one pot.
Thanks so much, Jess, for a fantastic cocoa recipe. Using the crock pot is so easy. You were right about it 'ruining' people forever more when it comes to drinking 'watered' hot chocolate. LOL Made 1st batch using semi-sweet morsels.....made 2nd batch using milk chocolate morsels. It was 50/50 verdict in my crowd of what they preferred when comparing the two. So I did the 3rd batch using 1/2 semi sweet; 1/2 milk chocolate. And got 100%, across the board. This will be a staple in our house at Christmas from now on. Very much appreciate your sharing it with us. :)
I’m glad you loved it and next time I’m going to try mixing the chips like you did!
These look so yummy!
We love to do a sparkling cranberry drink.
1Tbs Acv
1/4 cup cranberry juice
1 can grapefruit flavor sparkling water
We just mix each drink individually. My kids like theirs more half juice half sparkling water. ❤
Funny story about mulling spices . . . it was late at night this summer, I was making pickled Chioggia beets, I pulled out what I THOUGHT was our pickling spice and got my brine cooking. I realized the next morning as I was cleaning up, after canning them all: nope, that was the mulling spice.
Those pickled beets are incredibly delicious and very, very pink (stripy beets do that, apparently). I'll happily use mulling spices for my pickled beets again, though I do wish I had some regular to compare them to.
That being said, the reason we keep mulling spices around is because Dad's big preserving project every year is cider and apple juice and we all love wassail. I'm 100% going to have some cooking on the stove on Christmas. I may use some apple slices to stick the cloves in this year - that's a great idea. Thank, Jess!
Our family Christmas celebration isn't official until we have a toast with aged eggnog. After reading many articles about how it's actually safer the longer you age it, and that it can age refrigerated for up to a year, I tried it. I saved a quart jar full and a year later, tasted it. Although I didn't get sick, and it still tasted like eggnog, there's just a mental "ick" factor. I like mine a bit younger, thank you very much!
Love the denim apron. I live in the Denim Capital of the World. The Duke family started our town back in the early 1900s when they opened one of their mills. At one point our little town was the Denim Capital. We lost our mill many years ago. The demographics of our town have changed a lot since the mill was here. We still are very proud of how our little piece of the world got started.
I'm from the Caribbean, and my grandmother would make the spiked eggnog, which we called Ponche de Creme, months in advance, and it does get better with age.😅
My mom never made holiday eggnog. However, quite often we would have breakfast eggnog and toast. Mom would crack an egg into a tall glass, add a tablespoon or less of sugar and using an old fashioned spiral style beater that fits perfectly in a tall glass, beat well. Then add a tsp of vanilla, beat, fill with milk and beat. Top with a sprinkle of nutmeg. And then off to school!
Hi again, Jess. Your fabulous crock pot hot cocoa is equally great in heated shot- glass sized portions for turning regular morning coffee into the BEST mocha lattes EVER!! This fun fact was pointed out to me by my in- laws, who are much enjoying the batch I made for them last week. Especially with the current frigid temps engulfing most of the U.S.---they've officially bid FAREWELL to Starbucks, and now create these 'treat' drinks without leaving their cozy house. LOL This is a wonderful winter beverage which brings comfort and joy long after the Holidays!! :)
An old family tradition that I’m bringing back this year is my grandma’s Christmas punch. It’s a combination of strawberry ice cream, egg nog and 7-up. It sounds odd but it’s actually really good. It’s been years since we’ve had it.
I figured out at an early age that egg nog is basically just melted ice cream; and I've loved it ever since! Lol
You are also creating traditions with the beverages you “reserve” for this time of year. Traditions carry on from generation to generation, which is such a wonderful thing 🤍🤍🤍
We have always called the cooked version boiled custard. I make it with pretty much the same ingredients. Whiz it all together with the immersion blender and cook it all together in a double boiler type set up. My double boiler set up is an old enamel ware gallon pitcher that belonged to my grandmother set over a pot of boiling water. My grandmother and my mother both made it this way. I plan to make some tomorrow, Christmas Eve.
I love making mulled wine in the winter, and especially around the holidays. We make our own wine, so we have plenty. I usually make a liter or two at a time unless I’m expecting a lot of guests. I add some honey, a cinnamon stick or two, a few cloves, some orange slices or tangerine sections, maybe an apple if I have one. I put this all in a heavy pot or crock pot and warm on the lowest setting, not boiling. It’s very fragrant and the alcohol level is lower than wine as some evaporates, but it is still more of an adult beverage.
My husband makes homemade eggnog. Every year people ask when he’s going to be making it, it’s that good
Well, we are puertorican. So it wouldn't be Christmas without celebrating Christmas eve with pernil (pork shoulder), arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon peas), pasteles (root veggie meat filled patties wrapped in banana leaves), flan (caramelized custard), arroz con dulce (rice pudding) and of course our own version of eggnog...coquito! We also do "parandas" during the holiday season where we go from house to house late at night and wake them up by singing "aguinaldos" (traditional PR Christmas songs) and improvising, while playing instruments until they come out and join us. Then we go to the next house and repeat. I remember as a child starting with a group of 5 and finishing with a group of over 50.
I may get brave and try the egg nog.
But mostly, I came here to say that you are so stinking adorable!
I love your authenticity and keeping it real!
Merry Christmas Jess and family!
Thank u for the hot cocoa recipe!! My grandkids will love it!! Thanks for making me okay with using sweetened condensed milk 😁
@greens ... If you're interested, you can also make easy ice cream using sweetened condensed milk. No ice cream maker!
What ever you are drinking , cheers and a Very Happy Delicious Christmas to all the viewers and family of our Jess..God Bless every one ..Amen
Egg Nog malts with half vanilla and half chocolate ice cream and chocolate malt powder. YUM!!
I make my pumpkin spice latte from scratch and it's so delicious. At night I just leave the coffee out of it and it's a wonderful evening drink. Perfect for the cooler months.
Our wassail recipe is 3 parts apple juice, 1 part cranberry juice, 1 part pineapple juice, cinnamon sticks, cloves then strain before drinking. So many memories tied to this drink.
I’m a huge fan of egg nog. We love Christian brothers brandy as the liquor. I find the taste is so much better. Have tried bourbon before and did not care for it. Thanks for the recipes. Love watching you and your family. Merry Christmas to you🌲
It’s also really good with dark rum!
Jess!!! Thanks so much for the hot chocolate recipe, it was a hit! Each year we take our grandsons riding around looking at decorations and usually stop at a local coffee shop for hot chocolate. It’s always good but everyone liked your better.
I enjoy hanging out with you. Thanks for having me 😊
I love seeing other people's traditions. I'm so thankful for your channels. Will you do a tutorial for your bourbon vanilla extract?
Funny, I love eggnog. But not spiked. Not much of a drinker but I do try & buy a bottle of Baileys every Christmas. I spike my coffee on Christmas 😊I’m gonna get my bag of Beulah, finely grind the beans & hav coffee w/Baileys this Christmas 💖
I’m not one much for spiked eggnog. Maybe a small amount but hard liquor and eggs and dairy just don’t go together for me 😂😂
We do the cooked egg nog as well, but I add some nutmeg to mine and let it chill for a day before drinking it.
Our big holiday drink is Hot Spiced Apple Cider. We prosses alot of apples in fall and fresh pressed juice is a big part of that. So this time of year, I crack a jar of juice into a pot toss in some cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg, a splash of vanilla and some honey, and just let it sit on the wood stove all day.
There is nothing better than coming in after a long, cold day to a house, smelling of cyder and a hot cup in your hand.
The new thing I found is to add a splash for Carmel whiskey for a hot Carmel apple drink ❤
Our families tradition is eggnog French toast on Christmas morning. Its my favorite and I just love it with a cold glass of eggnog!
We love both the eggnog and wassail. So good and such a treat for the holidays.
I love love that you started this channel. It’s almost my favorite but not really!!!! I love the garden and life vlogs so much. Thankyou for all you do and share. It brings so much joy to me and I’m sure so many!!!!
Those are our three holiday drinks, too. I have never tried homemade eggnog, so looking forward to experimenting with your recipe. Hot cocoa in our house is made on the stove and is pretty dark chocolately: 1 cup milk:1 Tbsp cocoa:1 Tbsp sugar, heated until all combined well. Our favorite wassail is one part cranberry juice, one part orange juice with cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and whole allspice.
I personally have never developed a taste for Eggnog, but I will share a recipe from one of our famous eateries that people love. You let a gallon of quality ice cream, here it's made in Tx. BlueBell, thaw about half way, and mix in a fifth of Bourbon. Voila!! Love The Farmer's Table!! Have been a subscriber with you for over three years now. Have learned so much, and you come across like a good neighbor!! Merry Christmas, and Blessings!!
Hey Jess! I'm excited to make these drinks. At a party we had eggnog mixed with peppermint ice cream. Yummy. Have a blessed Christmas and New Year!
Thank you for sharing! You inspired me to open up my file of Mimmaw Bethel's recipes and now I have a pickup order for our holiday traditional drink (spiced tea), marinated oyster crackers, and Mexican casserole. Also let it be known that the majority of my family recipes are dessert items. HA!
Spiced Tea
2 tablespoons whole cloves 4 cinnamon sticks
10 tea bags 3 cups water
Combine these and bring to boil.
1 box brown sugar juice of 4 lemons
1 large can pineapple juice
1/2 gal. orange juice (not from concentrate)
Combine these ingredients in large pot and strain tea mixture into it. Add 2 gallons of water. (Can refrigerate and add water to portions as needed)
I keep the cloves & cinnamon on the stove and just keep adding water to it as needed to make the house smell nice.
Thanks Jesse 4 sharing! Belated Bithday Wishes and Happy Holidays to all for whom you care! Blessings!
I’ve been making wassail for 4.5 weeks now, yum. We had lots of grapefruit so I used that too. Incidentally the leftover fruit & even spices are delicious with a bit of squirty cream ❤
What is squirty cream?
@@PrairieDawnC I’m ashamed to say it’s the cream (either dairy or vegan) in a can/tin, tall & thin, like an aerosol. I don’t often buy it but it’s handy to top hot choc or a warmed through mince pie. I love to whip double/heavy cream with home made vanilla essence (thank you daughter), a little icing/powdered sugar & small amount of cream cheese (& spirit of choice if Xmas) but having that in the fridge is a very bad idea for me ;) 🐷
Triple yum! And Christmas light drivin' with kids? Mandatory. High quality hot chocolate? Bonus! 🌟
We do a ginger beer, pineapple juice, orange juice, mix with fruity ice cream and top with garnishes! Punch bowl with a ladle! Then you can add alcohol if wanted.
I was going to look for an eggnog recipe tomorrow. Thank you, Jess! Merry Christmas!
I love the smell & taste of Wassel!
It is a cozy sensation with wonderful flavor!
Comfort & Joy!
These sound wonderful. Mom used to make hot chocolate when we would get enough snow to play in to help warm us up.
I have been following you for years, love this new direction. Thanks for sharing these three recipes, love all the subtle differences and variations both in your recipes and in the comments. Happy Holidays to all!
Thank you, once again. Yum!
Happy holidays! My mom always made us cocoa when we were younger, and as we got older, that turned into cocoa and peppermint schnapps. Now, each Christmas, I buy a bottle of Irish cream and have a little glass while I put together Christmas puzzles. I’ve saved the puzzles from my childhood, and we do them every year. Merry Christmas!
Thank you for the recipes. I will be trying a couple of them over the holidays.
Making eggnog as I watched. In South Africa we have hot summer CHristmasses but today we have a lovely cool, rainy day so perfect for warm eggnog at the lunch table
Oh my goodness... Just made Wassail for the first time.... Sooooo delicious! Fortunately it is a very wet chilly Christmas day here in southern Australia so it has been perfect.
Hi Jess, Happy Birthday for last week ❤
I love the clove tip. Great idea xx
Jess, I am the same way about tomatoes. I won't eat the store bought tomatoes. I love garden tomatoes and I wish I had a garden year round. I am just starting to get into my garden vegetables that I froze for the winter and I am loving the fresh veggies that I froze from my garden.
❤thank you. Love this
I am 55 and have never had eggnog. I have always wondered about it. I guess I will try it.
Thanks Jess, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Wow girl! You are posting a lot on this channel. How on earth do you keep up with all that you do? I’d love a video on that!! I struggle to keep up with business/homestead/homeschool/marketing multiple brands…. I’m drowning over here!😭
I've been making my own eggnog since the time I bought a carton at the store and the texture was like raw egg whites among the milk. I swear they didn't get it mixed up. It was so revolting that I dumped it and have never been able to face commercial eggnog again. My recipe is pretty much the same as yours and makes awesome eggnog latte drinks.
Eggnog makes great French toast!
Oh that’s happening!
Jess, I am so excited for these amazing recipes! I love your channel and love what you’re doing! God bless!
I've never had homemade eggnog, I can't wait to try your recipe.
Just made the eggnog, it's chilling now! I have wanted to try it homemade, so it's awesome you shared this video when you did. Thank you!
My grandpa used to make a cinnamon cider every Christmas eve! It was sweet, spicy and oh so delightful! :))
Have you ever thought about making a wassel jelly?
THAT is a fantastic idea!
@The_Farmers_Table I tried it. It turned out delicious. Served it on some Dutch babies (thanks for the recipe btw) for breakfast and everyone was a fan
Love these drinks! Cute slow cooker by the way!!
This looks amazing. I'm so excited you shared this recipe. My family loves eggnog, And I know someone my family are nervous about raw eggs. So I'm so excited for your recipe. We also drink Root beer. When my mom who is now 83, Was young. My great-grandparents made homemade root beer. It was done at Christmas time and so that has been a tradition all these years and still to this day. We are swedish norwegian german family, So we do the swedish meatballs, Swedish sausage, This year I'm making fruit soup again. Lefse, Swedish sausage and then my son is hosting so he is adding a couple of other items. Oh, and my daughter said we have to have herring. Not too many like Lutifisk. When I was young, my Grandpa would make homemade lefse. He had a freezer designated for it at 1 time and was selling it. Sadly, he took the recipe with them. And we have tried to do it the best we can. We make my Grandma's homemade caramels. My Grandma would spend days and countless hours preparing the food. And then we would have Christmas pudding. Which has cruise or dates in And she would turn off all the lights. Put a candle in the middle of it. Have whipped cream. She whipped on top of it with cherry's. And then she would walk around the room and sing Silent Night with a wreath on her head. I'm so thankful for the Christian Heritage and legacy in my family. Is Merry christmas Jess, Miah and family ❤ My daughter and I have watched your beautiful journey of the great things the Lord has done in your family and your land for many years. Also Happy New Year from Minnesota.
I always have egg nog, even when it’s just me alone and when I have guests, I serve your Wasail recipe. But I learned the hard way that you were right about the orange peels making it bitter. So I only used put a few in just before I serve it.
Yum!!
These are great!! We grew up with Wassail & Gluhwein on one side of the family and coquito on the other.
Thanks and blessing ❤
My family is from Belgium and Holland. We have our "eggnog" type but I think it's better than eggnog. It's called Advocat. It also has eggs but uses Gin. It's almost pudding like I don't make it anymore as I live and spend the holidays alone and I don't drink alcohol very much these days. Tummy issues.
What a lovely punch!❤
I made Eggnog from scratch once. At that time, I decided that the mess involved made store bought more appealing to me. I do think store bought is too thick and rich, I aways add about 25% plain milk when I drink it. You've made me want to try from scratch again.
I make a hot cocoa mix with whole powdered milk for the grands with dehydrated marshmallows 😊 they also love the marshmallows 😋 by themselves.
Boiled custard is one of my favorite holiday drinks. I buy it when it’s available but my grandmother used to make it homemade. I make a homemade hot chocolate all winter long. When I make just a single portion I use the blender to make it extra creamy. Yum yum. 😋 Thanks for sharing your recipes, Jess. I’m enjoying your cooking channel. ❤
Thank you. I now have a need to try wassail. I swear, I gain 10lbs just looking at eggnog!
Thanks for these incredible recipes. Merry Christmas!
My family's traditional drink is a Tom and Jerry..so much nostalgia and tradition for us!
That is what my dad would make!
I do not have a recipe, will you please share yours?
So now…I really need a video on making bourbon vanilla! 😊
Wow!! Good job, looks great😁👍🏼✨
If you make eggnog base in your blender you can turn it on and stream the hot milk in. It will make a thicker eggnog but my husband loves it. I personally don't like eggnog because of the texture in my mouth. However I love eggnog pudding and cheesecake and cookies. 😋
I enjoying your new channel. Thanks for putting this together. Your efforts are recognized and appreciated. Merry Christmas
The cider!
Thank you for the homey touch I loved it
ALways fun to see different eggnog recipes. I made a milk free version with 2 cups rice milk, 1 cup sugar and 6 egg yolks and it turned out creamy enough without adding cream. I simmered cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon in the milk before adding it to the eggs. As I was worried about pouring it in too fast I just just a cup to slowly laddle and drizzle into my eggs.
We don't really have a traditional drink here besides simple hot chocolate, always made with hot milk not water :) with whipped cream on top. This is only my sevond tear making eggnog. I tried the wassail last year a spiked version and I didn't like it, but others in my family did luckily.
I actually just made homemade egg nog for the second time in my life. The first time was like 25 yrs ago ( B4 the Internet😳) this last time was so much better!
We lurve egg nog in this house and I read the ingredients in the store bought and I was like - NO! 😱.
It was off the chain good, not your exact recipe but basically the same steps.
If you put your mind to it, you can do it!
Merry Christmas and many blessings to all.
I'm so looking forward to trying these recipes and putting them in my binder!!! We usually have store bought eggnog and I love to make mulled cider in my crockpot....sometimes adding a little Captain.
My family loved this hot cocoa! We have tried several Pinterest recipes previously that were fails. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. The crockpot was emptied ❤ 🍫
Bless you 😊
Thanks for all three recipes. Will try them all. The hot chocolate on stove top this weekend. When my sister comes to visit in January, I know she'll love the spiked eggnog. The wassail will be new to us. Merry Christmas to you and your family!❤❤
We walked around the neighborhood last night and back for hot chocolate and cookies (both from scratch) last night. I like using cocoa powder and milk on the stove. I follow the recipe from Better Homes and Gardens red plaid cookbook. Happy holidays everyone
