whipped cream cheese is great. easy to put on toasted bread w/o ripping.

no.

Use a fork and mix with salsa for a quick dipping sauce.

I've been getting various sweet goat cheeses lately. Tastes better than cream cheese, and not as much bullshit in it.

Just a little goat shit instead, right?

Skip the sweet goat cheese. Just get quality normal goat cheese. Then, this will blow your mind:

Take toast (just about any kind even a plainer flavored bagel), smear with that jam, top with goat cheese. Food doesn't get much better.

For a savory version:
Take toast (I like pumpernickel for this, but any hearty bread or bagel will do), put a dab of butter to melt into it, top with normal goat cheese (chevere works best in my opinion), brush with a vinaigrette, sprinkle Herbs de Provence on top.


Cream cheese is tasty, but after doing these, you wouldn't willingly go back to cream cheese again.

That's what gives it the special taste :^P

I like the look of that spiced jam. I'll have to keep my eyes open for it at the store.

I've tried one of their other flavors (apricot rosemary I think) and it was ok. But that specific Cherry Fennel one happens to be flavored just right. It isn't a combination that you would normally put together. A little sweet, a kick of fennel but not overwhelming either, a touch of cherry so you notice it but it isn't the key flavor. And it just pairs so well with goat cheeses.

I love good, fresh jam of all kinds. My buddies dad gave me a jar of some homemade stuff he made and I've never looked back. Smuckers is not even comparable. I may have to give this a shot.

I stick to regular cream cheese myself, have never tried the goat cheese.

My wife doesn't know enough about canning and preserves to do it, I need to coerce my step sister into sending me some more of her homemade. I grew up around that type of thing, we'd can green beans, peppers, black raspberries, etc in bulk over a given weekend with several relatives involved and pressure cookers in one spot and split it all up.

Good stuff, always better than store bought.

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Agreed. So much easier to spread, same price.

I'd be surprised if your not making your own whipped goat cheese

 

[Markbnj]

More air for your money.

when i was a kid my aunt had a nice piece of land in Arkansas and it had 2 big ass pear trees. she made a pear preserves that would rock your world.

I thought that myself at first, but if sold by weight it wouldn't matter.

 

[JEDI]

More air for your money.

psst.. same .25/oz unit price at walmart (as mentioned in my OP)

Exactly.

It's the same price for a third less product!

Yeah, I grew up in Indiana as a kid, many of the relatives were farmers.

One Aunt had a patch of land off to the side with a old dead tree in it we called "the Bee Tree" of course because it had a huge hive in it. It had a huge thicket of Black Raspberries that would be grow to large sizes around it. All the kids would go out with 5 gallon buckets and fill em up picking the things while they were caned inside by the Aunts, Grandma, etc.

We'd all come back with stained mouths just eating em while picking, and were a few Black Berry Cobblers made that day, that are still one of my favorite things

I imagine we'd pull 50 gallons of Blackberries out of there in one day.

 

[MongGrel]

Exactly.

It's the same price for a third less product!

Weight of air not found or pretty negligible

 

[JEDI]

fluid ounces.

If you do try it, be aware that there are strong differences from type to type. Mild goat cheeses might be hard to differentiate from say a mozzarella. A medium goat cheese is very pleasant with great flavors that you don't get in other cheeses. A strong goat cheese will taste like a barnyard smacked you in the face (and not the pleasant parts of the barnyard, the browner parts lying underneath the pig is more like it). My wife loves the strong goat cheeses. I stick to the mild to medium strength ones. If your store has a cheese expert, that expert should be able to guide you to the less barnyard ones to begin with.

Decent attempt at a save but it's not quite enough.

Well, I hope the cheese you have been eating has not been "authentic bull milk" cheese.

:hmm:
