Directions:
Beat egg whites and salt until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape.

Beat the egg yolks to soft peaks in a separate bowl. Beat the butter and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and vanilla to the butter mixture; mix. Stir in the nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and the egg whites; beat until well blended. Batter can be frozen or kept in refrigerator for several weeks.

To make a Tom and Jerry, fill a cup of hot water with spiced rum or brandy, warm milk, hot cocoa, or eggnog and stir in 1 heaping tablespoon of batter.

Personal Notes:
Every Christmas I remember mom and dad always serving Tom and Jerry's for the holiday drink. We could purchase the egg mixture in the grocery stores. When I got married and moved away I couldn't find any stores that sold the egg mixture so I looked up a recipe on-line that came close to the drink that we had at our home in Iowa. This drink sure does bring back the my holidays that we shared together.

This is a picture of mom and it always made me smile to see her in those glasses.
