How to Make Homemade Cottage Cheese
This is something my mom taught me how to do, and I personally am a big fan of cottage cheese.
You will need a large bowl (not stainless steal) and a gallon of whole milk (this brand from Costco works best)
Pour the whole gallon into the large pot. If this is your first time use 2 cups of butter milk which is soured. Otherwise you will use the top layer from the pervious time (see below)
use the top layer from the previous time
Pour the 2 cups of soured milk with the gallon of fresh.
Cover the pot and let it sit for 18-20 hours on counter at room temperature.
The next day the consistency would have becomes thick.
Using a spoon, scoop the top layer off and put in a jar and store in the fridge for next time. This is the soured milk that causes the fresh milk to curdle.
Place the rest on low heat for an hour then it will start to begin separating the liquid from the cottage cheese.
You will need a cheese cloth and strainer.
Pour the mixture into a cheese cloth and strainer.
Let it sit for a few minutes to drain.
Then hang to dry for a few minutes for the water to come out.
Enjoy healthy homemade cottage cheese and some fruit for breakfast!
