  2. Lightly beat egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly mix in about a 1/2 cup of the hot milk, to temper the yolks . Pour the egg and milk mixture on the sauce pan and continue cooking over medium-low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly

I had my doubts trying this recipe... no stars, just one review... would the honey overpower the delicate flavors of the precious fresh goat milk (given to me by a friend who milked the goat herself)? I happened to have all the ingredients & always appreciate a recipe that doesn't use refined sugar, so thought I'd take my chances.
Having just churned it up I had to come back & say THIS IS AMAZING! The honey & the goat milk enhance each other beautifully. The walnuts & cherries provide delicious contrast in taste & texture. It's so, so good!!!! Happy it made 2 quarts!

wanted to note minor changes I made: used brandy instead of whiskey, & used a little more than the required amounts of walnuts & cherries
