FEEDBACK ON COLOSTRUM

As kids, we always seemed to quarrel over the first milk. Don't fight ... just enjoy it.

We've eaten colostrum with gusto for several years now and have fed it to our two small children with no bad results at all. Moreover, the old Norwegian woman who turned us on to this food several years ago has eaten it since she was a child and is still living a very vigorous life at nearly 90. We've been told this first milk will act as a laxative, but haven't found that to be true.
We like colostrum best baked as a pudding. No thickening is needed ... in fact, the first few milkings will yield desserts that look like hard-boiled egg white.
Super Pudding
4 cups fresh colostrum
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp. pure vanilla
a few shakes of nutmeg
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly and pour them into a baking dish. Set the dish in a pan of water and heat it at 325° until the custard is firm. Delicious and very nutritious!
Or you can bake the colostrum as is, slice it and eat it with a sauce or syrup (chokecherry syrup beats all). Or bake it with a little salt and your favorite herb (dill, chives, rosemary, etc.), let it cool, cut it into small squares and toss it into a salad instead of cheese.
We also drink colostrum like a milkshake, blended with fruit, vanilla and a bit of honey. It makes an excellent pep snack.
