Quick Kajmak Recipe - Montenegrin Unripened Cheese Spread
Traditional kajmak is made by boiling unpasteurized,
unhomogenized (raw) cow's or sheep's milk and then pouring it into wide,
shallow bowls known as karlice. As the milk cools, the cream rises and forms a
thin layer on the surface, which is skimmed off and placed in salted layers in
a small wooden tub called a cabrica. The boiling and skimming procedure is
repeated many times until the tub is full.
This quick version of kajmak is an acceptable
substitute. It's served with pogacha or corn bread (proja).
