Ingredients

  • 2 Cups California golden raisins
  • 1 Cup dark rum
  • 1 vanilla beans
  • 10 egg yolks
  • 3/4 Cup sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons arrowroot
  • 4 Cups half and half

Procedure

Measure raisins into a stainless steel bowl. Warm rum and pour over raisins. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 2 hours. Then, scrape seeds from vanilla bean into mixer bowl and add egg yolks, sugar and arrowroot; beat with whisk attachment until pale yellow and ribbons form. Combine vanilla pod with half-and half in a heavy saucepan and heat to scalding. Slowly stir 1 cup of hot half-and-half into egg mixture. Return all to pan with remaining hot half-and half. Heat and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture coats back of a spoon. Strain into a bowl set over an ice water; stir occasionally until cool. Drain raisins and fold into mixture; chill. Store in refrigerator. Serve cold.
