INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, 2 tbsp. water and lemon juice.
Place remaining 4 tbsp. water near stove.  Bring sugar mixture to
boil over medium heat, stirring constantly; cook for 5 minutes or
until mixture is dark amber in color.  Remove from heat.
Gradually and carefully add water to sugar mixture or it may spatter.
Stir until sugar mixture is dissolved.  In a large bowl, whisk
together eggs and milk. Stir in caramel mixture.  Cook over
medium-low heat for about 12 minutes or until mixture coats back of
spoon. Immediately strain through a cheesecloth into a 6 cup bowl.
Stir in vanilla, nutmeg and salt. Cover and refrigerate until
chilled. Just before serving, beat together whipping cream, liqueur,
if desired, and icing sugar until soft peaks form. Pour chilled
eggnog into 2 quart serving bowl. Fold in whipped cream with whisk.
Sprinkle nutmeg on top, if desired.   Note: For a hint of Holiday
Spirit, add dark rum to taste.  Eggnog can be prepared ahead of time.
It can be kept, covered, 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. Whisk
eggnog before serving.  Yield: 14 ( 1/2 cup) servings.  Typed in
