HOW DO I MAKE GOAT CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Place the goat cheese on a serving plate and spoon the jelly evenly over the top. Serve with crackers and celery sticks.

Steps:

• Warm the milk in a stainless steel (or other non-reactive) pot to 86°F. If using calcium chloride, incorporate the mixture of diluted calcium chloride into the milk as the milk starts to warm up.
• Add the culture to the milk and stir thoroughly. Allow the milk to sit undisturbed for an hour at room temperature.
• Once the milk is ready, dilute the rennet in 1/4 cup cool water. Mix the rennet/water into the milk using an up-and-down motion with your spoon (not a stirring motion). Incorporate the rennet but do not over-mix.
• Place a lid on the pot and let the milk mixture sit undisturbed overnight. The next morning, check that the milk has gelled and there is a clean break in the curd.
• Use a knife to cut the curd into 1/2-inch cubes. If necessary, use very clean hands to check the bottom of the pot for curds that may have been missed.
• Gently stir the curd off and on over the next 20 minutes. The curds should become somewhat retracted.
• Place a tea towel, cotton bag, butter muslin, or multi-layered cheese cloth in a colander. Pour in the curds and allow the visible whey to drain off. Once the whey has drained, tie the cloth in knots and hang it over the sink or a bowl. Allow the curd to drain for another 4 hours or until no more whey drips off.
