HEAVENLY EGGNOG

8 (4 Ounce) Servings.

Ingredients
• 1 10-ounce jar maraschino cherries
• 1 quart plus 1 cup prepared eggnog (regular or reduced fat), divided
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Directions
Drain cherries reserving juice (about ½ cup). Place one cherry in each compartments of 1-inch ice cube tray. Fill tray with 1 cup eggnog. Freeze until solid. Stir reserve cherry juice and vanilla into 1 quart eggnog; refrigerate until ready to use. When ready to serve, place eggnog ice cubes in glasses. Fill with cherry flavored eggnog. (Eggnog will not be diluted by the water of regular ice cubes. Rather the flavor will be maintained with the eggnog cubes).

*Note: Use 2 cups eggnog to make a “cherry ring”. Arrange cherries in bottom of ring mold. Add slivers of green maraschino cherries for leaves, if desired. Pour in small amount of eggnog; freeze until firm. Add eggnog to fill. Freeze until solid. On mold into punch bowl filled with cherry flavored eggnog.
