  • Meanwhile, arrange several layers of overlapping cheese cloth near a clan medium bowl. Spoon mixture into the cheesecloth, twist the cloth closed and squeeze over the new bowl.
  • Discard the pulp from inside the cheesecloth and repeat procedure with remainging mixture in the blender. Whisk the sugar and extract into the milk, then refrigerate until chilled.

  1. This is amazingly delicious! I was looking for a recipe for poppy seed spread or butter, but when I found this I decided to give it a try. It has a slight marzipan flavor - really different and delicious! Thanks for posting!!
