Cajeta

I found a thread on a dairy goat forum about something called cajeta and everyone was raving about it, so I had to google it. Cajeta is a "Mexican confection" (according to Wiki) made from milk and sugar, almost a mix between caramel and sweetened condensed milk. I had to make it!



Here's the recipe I used. I used goat milk for mine, because David pointed out that I had quite a stockpile of milk in the fridge. Cajeta is a good topping for cookies, pound cake, icecream, and pretty much anything else you can think of. The only negative thing is it takes a lot of stirring. I mean a LOT of stirring. I stirred mine for an hour and a half before it was ready. I almost cheered when it reached the soft ball stage!

I don't have any pound cake or icecream, but I do have apples. I think I'll go have some apples dipped in cajeta right now!
