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...
