But alas, ours will be long done while you're enjoying yours!<br /><br />Sue, I had that problem last year but this year I have more cats! They've figured out there are strawberry munching critters in the strawberry bed and make regular patrols there!<br /><br />Barb, LOL. You do have a strawberry bed, correct?<br /><br />Mom at home, you could make this with almond milk (a favorite of mine :) Even so, a lot of folks can consume goats milk who are intolerant of cows milk. <br /><br />Chris, excellent question. It's a common belief that goat milk is "naturally homogenized." It depends on the breed (not all produce the same amount of butterfat) and how long the milk is allowed to sit. The fat globules in goat milk are smaller than cows milk (one reason why it is easier to digest) but it means they are slower to rise. It takes 3 to 5 days to get a good amount of cream (even then it's not as much as cows). I wrote extensively on goat cream in this post, "<a href="http://www.5acresandadream.com/2012/09/goats-milk-butter-for-two.html" rel="nofollow">Goats Milk Butter For Two</a>" if you're interested in more information and a how-to.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-79144463787645059832014-05-28T18:41:49.605-04:002014-05-28T18:41:49.605-04:00*(I use goat cream because I have goats)*
Becaus...*(I use goat cream because I have goats)*<br /><br /><br />Because I read a lot about your goat adventures, that little statement makes so much sense! I'd use goat cream if I had goats too.<br /><br />Quick question though, I thought goats milk was naturally homogonised, so there is no cream. Is this true or am I showing my goat newbiness?<br /><br />Obviously you have cream so it must be possible to have goat cream, but is there a special process to make it so?
