Description Edit

Pronounced "rum punch," Ron Ponche is the Panamanian version of Egg Nog. It is especially popular during the holidays. A glass of Ron Ponche is not meant to be consumed in one sitting, but rather sipped in the same manner as Baileys or any other type of liqueur.

Ingredients Edit

• 10 cans evaporated milk
• 24 egg yolks
• 3 ½ cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup water
• 2-3 cups rum

Directions Edit

1. Add first five ingredients to a large pot (a double boiler is preferable).

2. Use a mixer to mix ingredients together thoroughly in pot before heating. Cook on medium to low heat, stirring constantly. Allow mixture to cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until ingredients become thick live gravy.

3. Remove mixture from heat. Add 1 cup of water and rum. Stir.

4. Scoop liquid into mason jar or other jar with a lid. Note: Be sure to strain the liquid BEFORE you put it into the jars.

5. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
