Sack Posset (warm Sherry Drink) image

This recipe is not for the cholesterol conscious nor if you are sugar intolerant but it is oh so good- Think of it as amedicinal nightcap - Good night Irene. Wonderful on a cold winter night. Because you bring the sherry to a boil most of the alcohol has burned off so it is not a high alcohol drink.
