Cajeta
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups
sugar
- 2 cups goat milk
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon
cornstarch
- 1 dash baking
soda
Method
Place half the sugar
in a small skillet and heat it over medium heat
for about seven
minutes, stirring it as it melts. It
should be a medium golden color and free of lumps.
Remove from the
heat.
Combine the two milks and
pour 1/4 of the milk into a bowl.
Add the cornstarch
and baking soda to the bowl and set aside.
Add the remaining
sugar to the remaining milk and place over medium heat.
Stir occasionally,
bringing it just to the boiling point.
Add caramelized
sugar all at once, while stirring vigorously.
Add reserved milk,
cornstarch and baking soda, and stir well.
Cook over low
heat, stirring occasionally, for 50 to 60 minutes.
During the last 15
minutes of cooking, Cajeta will begin to thicken.
Stir more
frequently at this point to prevent sticking.
NOTE: Cow's milk
may be substituted for the goat' milk, but the flavor will be different.
