Steps:
- Grease two baking sheets with butter; set aside. In a large saucepan, bring the sugar, water, corn syrup and cream of tartar to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 280° (soft-crack stage)., Remove from the heat; stir in extract and food coloring. Immediately pour onto prepared pans in eight 8-in. strips. Let stand just until cool enough to handle, about 1-2 minutes., Working quickly, roll each strip into a 10-in. log. Cut each into two 5-in. lengths. Curve the top of each to form the handle of a cane. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Pour remaining 1/4 cup water into a small bowl and use it to wet a pastry brush .
- Repeat this process for 2 to 3 minutes, until candy takes on an opaque color and a satiny finish. At this point, the candy will be warm-you should have some trouble pulling and folding it.
- Pull and fold the candy in the same fashion, until it becomes opaque, glossy, and difficult to manipulate.
- Stretch candy again. This step will determine the thickness of your candy canes-you can make thinner ones (with a 1/4-inch diameter) or thicker ones (with a 1/2-inch diameter).
- Cut off another segment from each log, returning the remaining logs to the oven, and repeat the twisting and stretching process until you have used up all the candy.

Steps:
- Before you begin this recipe, please take a class from a professional on working with sugar. This is a skill that professional pastry chefs develop after years of experience. Working with sugar will burn your fingers so know before you start that your fingers will develop burn blisters. Place the sugar, vinegar and water in a saucepan over high heat. Insert a candy thermometer and cook until the sugar reaches 320 degrees F. Use a pastry brush to keep the inside of the saucepan clean as the sugar cooks or the sugar may recrystallize. To do this, dip a clean brush in cold water and brush the inside of the pan clean. Pour the cooked sugar onto 3 or 4 silicone baking mats. If you want to color and/or flavor the sugar with food colors and/or flavored oils, this is the time to do so. Add a few drops of color to the sugar. Mix with a wooden skewer. To get started, push the sugar from the sides toward the center. This process takes a little while. Try to keep the sugar divided by color. Use the mat to push the firm sugar around the edges toward the center. Use a folding motion to accomplish that task. The next step is to pick up the sugar with your hands. Place each color under the heat of the sugar lamp. Pull the sugar until it becomes glossy and the color is evenly distributed. You will need to pull the colors simultaneously. Keep them under the sugar lamp but keep an eye on them. The lamp can melt the sugar so it is important keep rotating it and folding it onto itself.
- Start with 2 pieces of colored sugar. I used red and green. Pull them into a rectangular shape that is about 1 1/2-inches wide by 3-inches long and 1/2-inch thick. Place the pieces side-to-side and let them stick together on the long side. Place a piece of white sugar that is about 1/2-inch wide by 3-inches long and 1/2-inch thick in the middle. Close the red and green around it. Roll it and twist it while pulling it. When it gets to the desired thickness, use a scissor to cut the length and shape into a cane. Allow to cool completely. The white is inside and will become apparent when eaten.
- Jacques? tips: Vinegar keeps the sugar from crystallizing. You will not taste the flavor. It serves as an acid in this recipe. Sometimes candy cane recipes contain corn syrup, which makes the sugar very dry and very hot. Adding corn syrup makes it more difficult to work with the sugar at home. Remember, the sugar is at 320 degrees F, and that will burn you. The ideal work surface is a silpat placed over cool marble or granite. If you do not have marble or stone, use wood. It is a good idea to use gloves to help protect your hands from the heat and to prevent burning.
- I use a special sugar box that includes a special heat source, If you don?t have one, you can work in front of the oven. Set the oven to 300 degrees F. Open the oven door and place the silpat on the oven door. It provides a similar effect to the sugar box heater.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the yolks and brown sugar. Whisk well for 5-6 minutes until the mixture has increased in volume and thickened, and a figure "8" can be drawn when lifting up your whisk.
- In a saucepot, add the milk and vanilla then bring up to a barely a simmer. Then, start to slowly add the warmed milk to the yolk and sugar bowl, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling. Continue to temper the mixture until the warm milk and egg mixture has combined, then return everything back to the pot. Then add the nutmeg.
- Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon (making sure that no bits begin to stick or scramble to the bottom). Continue to cook slowly and gently until the mixture slightly thickens and coats the back of your spoon. Strain into a bowl (to capture any bits that may have scrambled in the process) then stir in ¼ cup of the ground candy cane. Transfer to a resealable plastic container, then place in the fridge to chill completely.
- When ready to serve, wet a paper towel then swipe the rims of each glass. Dip the glass into some more of the candy cane powder to create a festive rim. Fill each glass with some eggnog, then top with fresh whipped cream and some extra grated nutmeg.
