Most people are surprised to discover how easy it is to make a simple, tasty, spreadable cheese at home. After all, you buy cheese at the supermarket and they get it from huge cheese manufacturers – it must be complicated. Actually, cheese can be made with equipment found in most kitchens and a very simple list of ingredients.
The recipe presented here is about as simple as you can get, and you end up with a ricotta cheese than you can use to make Italian pasta dishes, or flavor with herbs and spread it on crackers.
1.&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;Heat 1 gallon of 2% milk to 190F. If you don’t have a thermometer to test the temperature, the milk will hit 190F just before it starts to boil. Heat the milk slowly to avoid scorching it and stir it often.
2.&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;Remove the milk from the heat and slowly stir in ½ cup of vinegar. Keep stirring for about 30 seconds. The vinegar will form the curds.
3.&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;Place a colander in your sink and line it with cheesecloth.
4.&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;Carefully pour the contents of the pot into the colander.
5.&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;The curds should drain in the collander until it is cool enough to handle.
6.&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;After it has cooled, pick up the cheesecloth and form a little bag by twisting the top. Wring out the cheese in the bag to get as much of the liquid, called whey, out as possible.
7.&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;Pour the cheese into a container of your choice.
8.&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;Add salt and pepper to taste and the cheese is ready to be used in things like lasagna, stuffed shells, and cannelloni.
Hint: If you prefer a dryer cheese, more along the lines of feta, let the cheese hang in the cheesecloth bad to dry overnight.
There are some fun things that can be added to this ricotta-style cheese so that it can be used as a cheese spread. At the time that the salt and pepper is added, some people add things like minced garlic, basil, or chives. Imagination is all it takes to make this cheese the hit of party when served with some hard bread or thick, crunchy crackers.
