Time P1DT1h5m

Yield 1 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 gallon milk (any kind)
1 quart buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. Mix milk and buttermilk in a large oven-proof pot Cover and allow to sit for 24 hours.
  • 2. Uncover and place in oven at 200 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. When it's done it should get dry around the edges and have some cracks around the edges. The middle will still be soft. Let it cool completely.
  • 3. Place a cheesecloth or a couple layers of paper towels in a strainer.
  • 4. Pour the cooled farm cheese into the cheesecloth in the strainer. At this point the cloudy-clear liquid will drain out of the farm cheese.
  • 5. Now, gather up the sides of the cheesecloth & tie it up somewhere with a bowl sitting underneath for the whey to drip out of it. Leave it hanging there for a few hours for the whey to drain out. The remaining cheese inside the cloth should be soft with a consistency somewhere in between sour cream and cream cheese. It should be covered and refrigerated.

Tips:

  • Make sure the milk is at room temperature before starting the process.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure that the milk reaches the correct temperature (180-190°F) before adding the rennet.
  • Do not over-stir the curds after adding the rennet. This can result in a grainy texture.
  • Let the curds rest for at least 1 hour before cutting them.
  • Cut the curds into small pieces to promote whey drainage.
  • Gently stir the curds and whey for 10-15 minutes to release more whey.
  • Drain the whey from the curds using a cheesecloth-lined colander.
  • Rinse the curds with cold water to remove any remaining whey.
  • Press the curds to remove excess moisture.
