Looking at "Cheese" threads got me to remember.. As a kid we had neighbors that made homemade cottage cheese.. It was wonderful.
I haven't though about that in years.. But got to wondering how to make it, and if it was a viable and more useful way to use and store excess milk more so than other options.
At times we have frozen milk, or Sweetie has canned it. Both work well and are quite usable for many recipes.
I personally have to be a little careful as the more liquid a dairy product the more likely it is to give me digestive issues.. But I do love a bit of cottage cheese on a baked potato, or such.
Anyone made this ??

Cottage cheese tips. Use 1 % and you'll get a better texture than with whole milk. Don't use ultra high pasteurized milk, or canned milk. Add your acid (vinegar or lemon juice) at the right temperature. www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/quick-cottage-cheese-recipe-1948094After the curds are well formed (don't break easily), strain, dip the cheesecloth full of curds in cold cold water, over and over again, to cool them and rinse out the whey. Then once cold and drained, add some cream and season with salt.
