Is Homemade Egg Nog Supposed To Be Aged?
I have a wonderful egg nog recipe from my Fannie Farmer Cookbook, but the recipe makes no mention of aging the drink for a period after preparing the mixture. Has anyone heard of aging it to mellow the flavors? My recipe uses whiskey and rum by the cup (it is a recipe for a large amount), and it seems to me that the drink ought to be allowed to be refrigerated and aged. My girlfriend says that her family always aged the Christmas egg nog for an entire month. That sounds a little lengthy to me, but I find it strange that Fannie Farmer, of all cookbooks, makes no mention of aging. If you happen to know about this, please tell me your thoughts. I want to make a pre-holiday-season batch to perfect the recipe. (And because I like the stuff -- LOL~!) Your thoughts are appreciated. Thank you for providing them.
wellllllllllll....here's the thing...there are several ways egg nog can be made, the substantial difference is if you heat the eggs or not...if they are raw, you don't want to age your nog, unless of course you want a good case of salmonella or other food borne sickness.
It's fine to let it sit in the fridge a day or two to let the flavors blend together, but a month? Scary, when it comes to eggs in my opinion....
