This is a fancy custard recipe for a special occasion, or to start off the new year right. There's healthy ginger, wholesome ingredients, and for those who care, you'll notice that there is only 1/3 cup sugar for the entire custard, so even less per serving.

Wishing you a
Happy, Healthy and Prosperous
New Year 2010!!



Ginger Custard with Orange Marmalade
2 cups milk, scalded
2 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
candied ginger
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon finely sliced candied citron
3 tablespoons orange marmalade
1/4 teaspoon salt

Beat eggs slightly with fork. Add sugar and salt. Add scalded milk gradually, stirring constantly. Cook over hot water, stirring constantly, until mixture coats a spoon. Add citron, ginger, extract, and marmalade. Chill thoroughly. Garnish with marmalade and whipped cream. 6 servings.
