    Stovetop Cider

    Recipe courtesy Tracy Griffith.

    Ingredients:

    1 gallon apple cider
    2 cinnamon sticks
    3 cloves
    1 vanilla bean, split
    1 orange cut into 1/4" slices

    Preparation:

    Combine cider, cinnamon sticks, cloves, vanilla bean and orange in a pot and simmer.

    Servings: 10-12

    Chef's Note: Keep this simmering on the stove, refilling with apple cider as necessary.

    Homemade Eggnog

    Recipe courtesy Tracy Griffith.

    Ingredients:

    6 large eggs, separated
    1-1/4 cups sugar
    1 cup dark rum
    1 cup brandy
    1-1/2 quarts heavy cream
    Freshly grated nutmeg to taste

    Preparation:

    Combine the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl; then mix with a mixer until well combined and ribbonlike in texture. Mix in dark rum, brandy and heavy cream.

    Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; stir into the egg-yolk mixture. Cover eggnog and chill for a good 4 hours, or overnight.

    Grate fresh nutmeg to taste over the top and serve chilled (figure A).

    Servings: 10-12

    Chef's Notes:

    • This eggnog contains raw eggs. Always purchase fresh eggs with intact shells. As an added precaution, wash the eggs before use, and keep them chilled until ready to use. Individuals with compromised immune systems should avoid recipes that include the use of raw eggs.

    • Feel free to experiment with other liquors, such as bourbon, amaretto and kahlua.
