Various Goatmilk Cheese Recipes

These cheeses are all very similar and quite simple to make.

 Temperature is crucial, and the amount of acid added, directly affects the curd and texture, but the instructions are basically the same.  Heat first measure of milk to designated temperature.  Remove from heat and add juice or vinegar, according to recipe.  Stir in and let set for 15 to 30 minutes.  Add salt, stir well, and strain thoroughly, through cheese cloth.  


                    Farmer’s Cheese
½ Gal. fresh Goat Milk - heat to 185 degrees      2 tsp. Kosher Salt
1/3 C. Lemon Juice                                                   (or canning salt)
After following directions above, form into desired shape and refrigerate.

                 Ricotta Cheese
½ Gal. fresh Goat Milk - heat to 200-205 degrees       1 Tbsp. Salt
½ C. Cider Vinegar
After following directions above, place in covered container.  Good for cooking or as a base for herb cheese.
The following herbs are favorites around here, when added to this mellow cheese, make a wonderful dip or spread.
* Dill weed, caraway seeds, or fresh diced pimento.


                          Cottage Cheese  
½ Gal. fresh Goat Milk - heat to 210 degrees          1 Tbsp. Salt
¼ C. Cider Vinegar                                                  *½ C. Sweet Milk
After straining, stir curd with a fork and add sweet milk.  Makes wonderful cottage cheese for cooking or eating plain, or my personal favorite, which is on top of fresh garden tomatoes.

                         Cream Cheese
½ Gal. fresh Goat Milk  - heat to 190 degrees           1 tsp. salt
½ C. Lemon Juice

After completing instructions, blend or mash thoroughly and refrigerate.  This is good in any recipe that calls for cream cheese, including Cheese Cake

I’ve read that these various cheeses can be made with pasteurized and processed cow‘s milk, as well, but I’ve not tried them with anything but fresh goat’s milk.

Before the Throne

I rarely discuss satan, because his power is no match for the King of the Universe, but I must post this.  I was shown a very unsettling vision in the heavenly realm.  Just as described in Job chapter 1, I saw satan before the Throne of YHWH.  I could not see YHWH, I saw fire, but I did see Y'hshuwah at the right hand of the flaming Throne.
Now there was a day when the sons of Elohim came to present themselves before YHWH, and Satan came also among them.  Job 1:6

Satan was speaking and he made six very clear statements.
1.  As he pointed to the right of the Throne, he said, "They say they follow Him, but they talk about me."

2.  The "church" has invited me in, as they proclaim fear of me, rather than You, and produce evil splendor.

3.  It's people who say they believe who have focused the end of days on the Revelation 13.

4.  How many times is fire mentioned in accordance to Your presence, but so many images show me "alive and well" in the midst of flames.

5.  So many claiming my attacks sound like those claiming to be Yours believe I'm omnipresent.  As a matter of fact . . . the way Your people talk about me, it's as if they believe I'm omnipotent and omniscient, as well.

6.  For so many of their choices, and your chastisement, they give me credit.

Ye are of G-d, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.  I John 4:4
