Thinking ahead for the holidays, I decided to get a little creative. I used a basic 4 gallon cheddar recipe and just added chopped dried cranberries and fresh jalapeno peppers at the milling stage. The mold I used is my Kadova 2k with liners. I love this mold and the shape. The cheese out of the mold weighs in at 3 lbs. - 9 oz.
I watched my ph readings carefully. Started with 6.61 raw milk. Drained at 6.15 and milled at 5.35.
Looks good. I am going to be making 3 cheeses over spring break and 2 of them are ones with added spices so keep your eyes open for those. AC4U
Interesting combination! I'm not sure I can quite "picture" ("salivate"?) how it will taste, but will be very interested in hearing the report!

I like the combination of sweet and hot. I do a smoke salmon that is glazed with apricot jam and cayenne. It is absolutely amazing. We dub it 'man candy'. Thanks for the cheese.
