OLD FASHION SOUTHERN BOILED CUSTARD
I have had this recipe for years. I make it every Christmas and give it to my neighbors as gifts. It is always a big hit. I use a candy thermometer to help judge when milk is scalded and when the custard is done.

SOUTHERN BOILED CUSTARD
My grandma Katherine made this every Christmas. As a child, I remember standing on a chair stirring for what seemed like hours. She stored hers in the used milk jugs and buried them in snow banks. The colder the better. It seems this is a Kentucky & Tennessee tradition. I add vanilla bean caviar for the glorious black specks...
