Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whiskey*
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup heavy cream
directions
* Brandy or rum can be substituted for whiskey.
In a saucepan, beat the eggs and sugar until creamy. In a second saucepan over low heat, heat 2 cups of the milk until hot. Slowly add to the egg mixture, stirring continuously.
Cook over low heat, stirring, for 15 to 20 minutes or until the mixture reaches 170 degrees F and has thickened. Stir in the remaining milk, vanilla, whiskey, and half the nutmeg. Chill 3 hours.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream until soft peaks form. Fold into the milk mixture. Ladle the eggnog into a punch bowl and sprinkle with the remaining grated nutmeg.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
