Grannies’ Egg Nog Recipe

• 1 Hr. + 3 Hrs. to make
• Serves Some

I started helping my grandpa Jimmy make this when I was about twelve. He claimed he got it from Mary’s brother. Mary being my paternal grandmother and her brother being my great uncle Glenn. My paternal grandmother’s side of the family was about as English as you can get. Read more I really enjoy a lot of the British & European Christmas traditions. I prefer Goose to turkey and love Plum Pudding. I’ve had dozens of different eggnogs, from the store bought, ersatz stuff to a concoction that took my neighbor two days to make and there has to be at least one recipe out there for every person that makes it. Except for the store bought stuff, everyone I’ve ever has was pretty good stuff. Maybe I am partial to this one just cause it’s Grannies’; you can get attached to stuff like that. Maybe it’s just great, basic Eggnog. Whatever, this is the one I make every Christmas and New Year. Actually, Granny didn’t hold much with drinkin: Just didn’t bother with it. However, Eggnog had its own special place, so grandpa said. Grandpa used brandy but I like rum. Merry Christmas. See less
