Scarlet & I made cheese:)

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Bring about 3/4 gallon whole milk to a SLOW boil (you want it to

slowly heat up over 30 minutes. I started on medium low and turned

it up a bit when necessary. After milk comes to a simmer/boil (be

careful not to scorch it!) Add the juice from one freshly squeezed

lemon. Stir and curds will form almost instantly. Pour through cheese

cloth and let cool until you can handle it and squeeze out excess

liquid. Add salt to taste and you’re done!

TA DA! You have cheese! It’s similar to a ricotta–It would work well

for a lasagna or sprinkled on a salad.
