Cajeta
A rich caramel
sauce made from goats milk. Adequate products are available in
Mexican grocery stores but you are in for a real treat if you take the
time to make your own. Look for goats milk in your local health
food store.
Cajeta can be used over ice cream, as a filling for desserts or even
atop pecan cheesecake (Pay de Queso y Nuez con
Cajeta).
I N
G R E D I E N T S
4 cups goat's milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cow's milk
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
pinch of sea salt

S T R U C T I O N S
In a large, heavy saucepan
bring the goat's milk to simmer over medium heat. Add the sugar
and stir until completely dissolved.
In a small bowl stir together the cow's milk and baking soda.
Ladle in a small amount of the hot goat's milk, stirring
constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk the soda
mixture into the hot goat's milk.
Return the pan to the stove, stir well with a wooden spoon, and continue
to simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently unit the mixture begins
to thicken, about 30 minutes. As the mixture darkens, return the
heat to low and stir constantly unit the cajeta becomes a dark caramel
color and coats the back of a spoon, another 20 minutes or so.
Pour the cajeta into a bowl and let cool, then stir in the
vanilla.
Store any unused cajeta in the refrigerator.
