Marsala, a Sicilian fortified wine, is traditionally used to flavor zabaglione, a light dessert custard. In this recipe, rum is added for a more intense flavor.

Yield: Makes about 3 1/2 cups

Ingredients:
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
6 tablespoons imported dry Marsala
2 tablespoons dark rum

Method
Whisk yolks and sugar in medium bowl until thick, about 2 minutes. 
Heat milk and cream in medium saucepan over medium heat until mixture bubbles at edges. Gradually whisk hot milk mixture into yolk mixture; return to saucepan. 
Stir over medium heat until custard leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across and temperature registers 180°F, do not overcook.
Immediately pour custard through sieve set over another medium bowl. Stir Marsala, rum, and vanilla into custard. Cover; refrigerate at least 3 hours.
