This goat cheese recipe comes from Robyn of Robyn’s Online World.
Robyn says:
My friend Karen (who I met thru Twitter) had a local BBQ tweetup last summer and served this and it was a hit with everyone! She modified the original recipe she had and so this is the way I’ve made it. By the way, if you have picky people who turn their nose up at goat cheese, just don’t tell them what it is until after they eat it – they will love it!

Merry Christmas! Yes, it’s really me. I’m finally back. The recipe sounds wonderful! Missed you!
Just wanted to let you know I finally posted again after 8 months. It’s been way too long! Check it out if you get a chance. mybabciasbabushka.blogspot.com
Talk to you soon! (((HUGS)))
I’m not really fond of goat cheese (no offense to my lovable host), but I bet this is really good with Brie.
Aaah, this is better. The publicist should send you her recipe for goat’s milk caramel. She makes it all the time to put on her goat’s milk ice cream.
She has a lot of goat’s milk.
I wonder why?
Merry Christmas!
I wouldn’t want you to give away any trade secrets, but I would love to have any recipes you’re willing to share! Especially something from goat’s milk, since I haven’t received any of those types of recipes yet.
