The seller didn't come by the following year, and I've been wondering since whether that first taste was a fluke-- whether the goat milk made that great a difference in the flavor. Any suggestions as to where I could find some goat milk fudge? Sat Jan 13 03:27:31 -0800 2007 17463 PseudoNerd 1 2184486 Oh, PseudoNerd, this sounds like something I might like! I hope someone posts with info. Sat Jan 13 06:40:59 -0800 2007 2184134 14014 liu 1 2184931 fudge is super easy to make, just sub goat milk. Sat Jan 13 15:33:22 -0800 2007 2184134 30273 hotoynoodle 2 2185425 hotoynoodle, I have to agree with you. I live in a rural area of N-E Ohio with a large Amish population, and I can obtain goat milk for a very reasonable cost. I prefer to use goat milk over that of cattle for many sweet and savory recipes. BTW hotoynoodle, I like your nickname.

I live in Tallmadge, Ohio (Akron) and would love to have access to fresh raw goat milk (raw cow's milk second choice). I can get it - but its expensive and takes some travel time. Can you give me the farm address or contact info? Many thanks! John Wed Apr 25 18:47:10 -0700 2007 2185425 94280 jmills616 2 2187273 I'm notoriously bad at making fudge. Sun Jan 14 08:11:12 -0800 2007 2184931 17463 PseudoNerd 1 2185347 Was it chocolate or just a rich carmel color?

Sun Jan 14 15:08:45 -0800 2007 2187271 10285 Candy 4 2193298 I'm not so convinced that I would've found good cajeta in western Massachusetts ... Tue Jan 16 09:05:33 -0800 2007 2187579 17463 PseudoNerd 1 2194392 from the uc davis website: Goat Milk Fudge 2 cups sugar 2/3 cup Goat Milk 1/3 cup cocoa 2 tablespoons white Karo Syrup 2 tablespoons butter 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/3 cup nuts Cook sugar, cocoa, syrup, butter and milk to soft ball stage - 238 F. Cool slightly, heat until creamy and add vanilla and nuts. Tue Jan 16 18:06:02 -0800 2007 2184134 30273 hotoynoodle 1 2353716 I make goat's milk fudge, and I'm in Central MA. Does that count? I haven' t tried cajeta yet, but as soon as the milk starts flowing again, it's on my list. My fudge is very sweet and creamy. I make mainly chocolate, but have made peanut butter chocolate as well. My little goats have the thickest creamy milk, so the fudge gets the benefit from it. Never a "goaty flavor," either. That's one reason we chose these goats.

Mon Mar 05 20:05:03 -0800 2007 2353716 17463 PseudoNerd 1 2357157 Do take a look at this website: http://www.splitcreek.com/ These ladies run a picturesque farm and make some great cheese...AND goat milk fudge. You'll note you can order from the website. If you do, I HIGHLY recommend the goat feta packed in oil, and the apricot almond cheese ball. (you want to be alone when you get the order so no one sees you eat an entire cheese ball) Tue Mar 06 07:21:14 -0800 2007 2184134 10471 danna 2 2357353 I'll second the Split Creek rec. Their fudge is very good. I can't say, however, that it tastes all that different from fudge made from cow's milk. Maybe I'm not enough of a fudge connoisseur to detect the difference. I haven't tried the cheese ball, but it sounds really good. Tue Mar 06 08:12:53 -0800 2007 2357157 11819 Low Country Jon 2 2360670 Excellent. I'd had this bookmarked for months, but hadn't bothered ordering from them yet. Wed Mar 07 01:33:24 -0800 2007 2357157 17463 PseudoNerd 1 2357618 wow, im totally interested in this, too! i am a big goat's milk and goat's milk product-fan. i make kefir and yogurt from goat's milk. i never was too into cow's milk products but i am pretty heavy into the goat stuff. im reading the split creek site now. cheers. Tue Mar 06 09:14:25 -0800 2007 2184134 42755 ben61820 1 2360768 We have Capriole goat cheeses at our local farmers' market, and they make a chocolate-bourbon-pecan confection that I love. It's probably more like a cheesecake than fudge (although not cooked), but it might be worth trying if you like that goat-cheesey twang. I'll find their website and add it.
