Three dozen eggs, three pounds of sugar, half a gallon of brandy, half
a pint of French brandy, half a gallon of milk. Beat the yolks and
whites separately. Stir the sugar thoroughly into the yolks, add the
brandy slowly so as to cook the eggs, then add the milk, and lastly
the whites, with grated nutmeg, reserving enough for top-dressing.
--_Mrs. P. W._
_Eggnog._
Take any number of eggs you wish, beat the whites and yolks separately
and as light as possible. Stir into the yolks, while beating, a
tablespoonful of sugar to each egg. Then pour on the yolks and sugar a
small wine-glassful of wine, flavored with a little vanilla, to each
egg. On that pour a wine-glassful of rich milk or cream to each egg.
Beat the whites as if for cake, then beat in enough sugar to make them
smooth and stiff. Stir this into the eggnog for twenty minutes, and
grate nutmeg on the top.--_Mrs. R. C._

Half a gallon of apple brandy, half a pint of French brandy, half a
pint of peach brandy, half a pint of Madeira wine, six apples, baked

will keep for years, and improve with age.--_Mrs. C. C. McP._
