Cajeta

Cajeta, I have never heard it called this before but could not wait to try it. I have made caramel using sweetened condensed milk before but never used our raw goats milk. 

This is a super simple recipe. 

1 gallon milk 

4 cups sugar 

2 tablespoons vanilla

Heat in sauce pan until dissolved 

1 teaspoon baking soda dissolved in 2 tablespoons water 

Add to milk mixture and cook 

Do not let boil but simmer. 

How long do you simmer, hmm I am thinking maybe 5 hours. Stirring every few minutes and making sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan

Over time it will turn this beautiful golden tan color and thicken up. 

I serve mine several ways: 

1 we use it in coffee

2 I cut up apples and bananas to dip in it

3 I cut up apples and lay in a pie pam and cover with this yumminess. 

How would you serve it?
