Here is what I did; you may need to make adaptations for whatever type of b/m you have. Play with it, if it looks too sticky, add flour (1 tbsp. at a time.) If too dry, add liquid, also one tbsp. at a time. Then let her rip!!!!!!!! * Maybe as little as 1/2 c; (I took the chill off of it in the microwave) Place ingred. in the B/M according to your manufacturers’ directions. Then adjust by adding flour or liquid as needed This made a real moist, light lg. loaf. It rose to the top of my breadmaker. I used the SWEET BREAD cycle and turned the lightness or darkness button slightly lighter than the center mark (I have a Welbilt). Let me know your results, we sure enjoyed it!

| 1 qt Milk 1 Vanilla bean OR 1 tb extract 12 Egg yolks 2 c Sugar 1 c Dark rum 2 c Bourbon 1 c Cognac or other brandy 8 Egg whites 3 tb Sugar 1 qt Cream Freshly grated nutmeg FOR BASE: In a heavy medium-sized saucepan, barely boil the milk with the vanilla bean, which has beens split lengthwise, scraped with the back edge of a knife and added to the milk–seeds, pod, and all (if using vanilla extract, you’ll add it after eggnog base has cooked). Meanwhile, place a large fine-mesh strainer over a bowl set in a large bowl of ice. Beat the yolks and sugar together in the top of a double boiler, by hand or with electric beaters, until thick and smooth, about 1 minute. Whisk in the hot vanilla milk. Cook in the double boiler set over simmering water, stirring constantly all around the bottom and corners with a rubber or wooden spatula. In time, foam will subside. The eggnog base is done when it coats a wooden spoon without bare spots, 12 to 15 minutes. Immediately pour through strainer, stirring to cool. When cool to the touch, slowly whisk in all liquors (if using vanilla extract instead of vanilla bean, add this now, too). Store eggnog base in refrigerator overnight or up to three days, to ripen. TO COMPLETE EGGNOG: At serving, remove vanilla bean and pour eggnog base into a large punch bowl. Beat egg whites with 3 tablespoons sugar to stiff peaks; fold into eggnog mixture. Beat cream to stiff peaks and fold it in, too. Let some lumps of the cream and egg whites float on surface. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Serve immediately, using a ladle.

2 C granulated sugar 2 C corn syrup 1/3 C cinnamon candy 1 C water 3/4 Tsp cinnamon 1/2 Tsp vanilla 1/4 Tsp cloves 3/4 Tsp red food coloring 6 Med apples Remove stems from apples, wash, and pat dry. Insert a wooden skewer in each apple, running through the apple from stem end to base without protruding all the way through the bottom end. Combine sugar, corn syrup, cinnamon candies, and water in medium-sized saucepan. Cook until candies dissolve, stirring constantly. Be careful not to boil. Add cinnamon, vanilla, cloves, and food coloring. Mix thoroughly. Boil mixture to 300 degrees using a candy thermometer without stirring. While mixture is boiling, generously prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray so it’s ready ahead of time. As soon as mixture reaches 300 degrees, remove it from heat and quickly dip each apple-one by one-into the mixture until it is thoroughly coated. Set coated apples, standing on their bottoms with skewer pointing up, on baking sheet until mixture hardens. Let apples reach room temperature before eating. |
