Coffee Infused Cajeta (goat milk caramel)
I've never eaten nor made cajeta before now, but as soon as I can figure out how to pressure can it, I will be making it often! Delicious, golden caramel full of subtle vanilla and coffee undertones...perfect in a cup of coffee, on ice cream, on toast or just on a spoon!
I doubled the recipe but must warn you, it took a very long time to cook down. I may have cooked it a little too long as it wound up pretty thick...However, all that really means is I probably should have simmered it for 6 or 7 hours instead of 8. It was worth the time invested though, promise!
This is absolutely heavenly. No more need be said.
Mmmm...cheese. I don't know about you, but I have an addiction. I am addicted to cheese. Truly. I've tried to give it up and it just makes me sad. I like it on almost everything. So, being able to make our own cheese is such an incredible gift! Now, all we need is to find the time to make some pizza! Maybe tonight will be the night...

Wow, you have a goat share?? I am sooo jealous! Wow how awesome to have fresh goat's milk to cook with and drink--and best of all you don't have to worry about taking care of the goats each and every day (I'm sure that would be old pretty fast!). I really want to try making my own cheese soon--I too am addicted to cheese!
ReplyDeleteIt's been quite the experience! We absolutely love it and are already learning so much! Someday I really want to keep goats, so this has been very helpful in fleshing out some of those real life details that one can only see when you're in it and doing it! The milk is just a super sweet added bonus :-)
