Recipes Using
Raw Goat Milk
Simple Soft Cheese:
This is an easy recipe that only requires 1/2 gallon
raw goat milk, the strained juice of 2 medium lemons, a thermometer capable
of the 180-200°F range, some "cheesecloth" (many cotton
cloths will work for straining), and some coarse salt (kosher or sea salt).
(This recipe will not work well with pasteurized milk).
 | Heat milk on medium heat (in a stainless steel
pot) to 185°F
|
 | Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice
|
 | Stir for several minutes until milk has curdled
|
 | Add 1/2 tablespoon of coarse salt (optional) |
 | Pour milk through cheesecloth |
 | Wrap curds in cheesecloth and hang (using a
rubber band works well) in the refrigerator to drain |
 | Drain for 4-8 hours, depending on how dry you
want the curds |
 | Scrape curds off cloth into bowl and stir |
That's all there is to it! Use on toast, in salads,
with pancakes - whatever you wish. Experiment using herbs (added at the end
when you stir the cheese). For larger curds, heat the milk well into the
190's before curdling. Experiment with curdling temperature and drying time
to get the cheese that meets your needs.
