Rum Raisin Tiramisu Pg 220

I checked the reviews on Food Network for this recipe, and at least half of the reviewers said there was way too much rum for their taste. With this in mind, I cut the amount of rum I used to half of what was called for in the recipe. I still used the 2 tablespoons for the raisins, but cut the rest from 1 cup to 1/2 cup. I had Myers Dark Rum on hand, so that is what I used. Even with the adjustment in the amount of rum, the flavor remained overpowering. This is disappointing because there are so many other delicious flavors here that get lost. Also in the reviews, many people were concerned about the uncooked egg yolks. I used pasteurized eggs to eliminate any concern. Most large grocery stores carry them, the brand is Davidson's. I will give this another try, replacing the raisins with nuts and the rum with Kahlua, and see if we like it better. This was very easy to make, I saw Ina make it on her show and one thing that she stressed was not to soak the ladyfingers, just dip them lightly on both sides.
