BTW, I used unbleached coffee filters, rather than cheesecloth. Much less mess, I thought. I didn't have to deal with the cloth afterward.

I can eat ricotta or fresh mozzerella. I'll have to learn how ricotta differs from other soft/fresh cheeses.Debra E.

Of course, he also ate pigs knuckles and tins of smelly fish.<br /><br />How wonderful that you have that memory of your grandparents' farm. So few of the small farms now! thanks!Debra E.

Easy as it was, the time involved, and the fact that I purchased plain yogurt as a starter eventually gave way to just buying plain yogurt at the store in a quart. Easier and cheaper. But I felt like a traitor.<br /><br />I didn't know that just the fat of the milk would work for a dairy intolerance. Interesting, but finding that out certainly is good for Debra E.

But I can eat the fat from milk (apparently the protein is gone?) That's funny about Wisconsin not being the original cheese state, but they sure are now, aren't they?<br />Carrie Fancett Pagelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096954464239963966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-49389815553438740972016-08-29T11:05:00.211-04:002016-08-29T11:05:00.211-04:00What a fun topic!!

Yearsa ago my stepdad taught us to make his version of "cottage cheese"--a dry, crumbly product that you could add cream to, or not, and so delicious when done right!
