I don’t know what it is but that shot of the pears is just incredible. I keep coming back to look at it. I’ve had lots of dulce de leche in my life, but never cajeta. I’ve got to see if I can find some goat’s milk!

Heidi, I’m so jealous that you might get to try this with fresh goat’s milk. Will you let me know how it turns out? It might be something I have to search for.

Elizabeth, WHAT?! Smoked? How? I need to know this, for it sounds like the one thing I didn’t even know I needed in my life. I predict a lot of experimentation with my stovetop smoker in the weeks to come.

I love cajeta!! I’ve lived in Mexico off and on for the last three years, and it’s always been my go-to sweet once I arrive in the country (starting at the airport…) Once I was driving on the highway between Jalisco and Colima, and we pulled off to buy cajeta from a wrinkly old man with a stand on the side of the road. It came in little wooden boxes (complete with a darling little wooden spoon (spade?) to eat it with) and had been SMOKED. If you’re a fan of creme brulee or carmelized anything, I recommend you try smoking your cajeta-because of the process, it becomes super thick (almost a paste-you almost can’t eat it in any way except straight with a spoon-but that’s not so bad, right?) and the flavor is to die for. I ate the entire box (meant to be a treat enjoyed throughout the whole weekend) in one sitting in the car. PS your blog’s awesome, the photos are marvelous

That looks beautiful – the pears and your photography and styling! I’m very curious about cajeta, I’ve never heard of it before. My in laws have goats so soon maybe I’ll have some goats milk to experiment with
