Homemade Cottage Cheese
Once you make cottage cheese for the first time you will wonder why you didn't try it earlier... it's so quick and easy!

Ingredients

  • 1 gallon raw milk
  • 3/4 c. white vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • cream, to desired consistency

Directions

  1. Skim cream off milk and pour milk into a large pot.
  2. Place on burner and heat over medium heat until it reaches 190 - no need to stir. This normally takes me about 30-35 minutes, but check for yourself the first time.
  3. After the milk reaches 190, remove from burner and slowly stir in the 3/4 cup of vinegar while whisking. The cheese should start to curdle almost instantly.
  4. After it curdles, pour into a strainer or colander and rinse with cold water while stirring.
  5. Dump cottage cheese into a bowl and break up any large clumps with your fingers.
  6. Stir in the 1 1/2 tsp. of salt and then add in the cream.
  7. Enjoy plain or with your favorite fruit topping (A favorite Steiner topping is applesauce!).
