Zabaglione

My Women's Round Table will be gathering for our winter meeting and I plan to serve Swordfish with Lemon Pepper, Zucchini Scapece Style, a salad, and end with fresh Rasberries with Zabaglione on top. Nothing like great food, great women, and great conversation to get through the winter nights.

We served this at our wedding.  My husband had never heard of it before but I couldn’t do just the traditional cake thing............

Serves 6

8 egg yolks
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup Marsala wine (sweet)

Separate egg whites from egg yolks (use egg whites later for omelets).
Mix ingredients together in the top part of a double boiler.
Cook over rapidly boiling water, whisking constantly until mixture doubles in bulk and thickens.
Remove from heat and whisk for another minute.
Pour mixture warm over fresh berries, serve it in a champagne glass by itself or chill and serve as a sauce for berries.  If it thickens too much in the refrigerator, bring back to double boiler before serving.
