There is a really tasty sack posset (eggnog?) recipe in Martha Washington's
Book of Cookery which I have made on several occasions.  It's a cooked
eggnog sort of thing. If I recall correctly 14 egg yolks, seven egg whites,
a cup of sherry, a pint of heavy cream, a half a pound of sugar, half a
nutmeg and some amberguis, the amberguis is optional.  I'll give you more
info if you want ...as soon as I find where I put my copy of Martha.  I've
made it with brandy and it came out tasty.  I've been intending to make it
with Dark Rum but haven't got around to it.
