If carmelizing is turning brown, that's what mine did in the hot water bath. However, it didn't taste like it was carmelized. It still tasted like milk. I was going to can my milk this year, but there were only 2 canners at Kings and not on sale. Since the hubby had an accident while driving his miniature horse (got BAD road rash, a broken right shoulderblade and pelvis girdle), I slowed the 4 girls down to once a day milking and then gave 2 to a lady with an orphaned foal. I froze some of my milk for my goat milk soaps that I'm making for Christmas.

Next year I will be milking 6 goats. Several of my gals can give 2 gals a day! I recently found out it is LEGAL to sell RAW milk and plan on doing that. If I don't get enough customers, then I want to can my milk. I have a cool well house that already has shelves in it so I can store them in that. I think a canner would be the way to go. Less water is used and less time to do the actual canning portion.

Anyone have a favorite brand they are really happy with? I start kidding in Feb so have a couple months to get one.
