Zabajone


Ingredients:  Eggs, sugar, Marsala, Maraschino or other light- coloured liqueur.

Zabajone is a kind of syllabub. It is made with Marsala and Maraschino, or Marsala and yellow Chartreuse.  

Reckon the quantities as follows:  for each person calculate the yolks of three eggs, one teaspoonful of castor sugar to each egg, and a wine-glass of wine and liqueur mixed. 


Preparation: 

Whip up the yolks of the eggs with the sugar, then gradually add the wine.  

Put this in a bain-marie, and stir until it has thickened to the consistency of a custard. Take care, however, that it does not boil.  

Serve hot in custard glasses, and hand sponge fingers with it or serve with some other dessert.
