| Homemade Ricotta Cheese |
| (Recipe courtesy Karen Berg of Karen Cooks For You) |
| |
| 1 gallon 2% reduced fat milk |
| 5 cups low fat buttermilk |
| 1/2 teaspoon sea salt |
| |
| Combine Milks in heavy duty stock pot and cook over med to high heat.
You will need a candy thermometer and have it extend 2 inches into the milk. Stir occasionally until
it reaches 170 degrees. DO NOT STIR AFTER 170! Let cook until 190 degrees as the whey & curds form.
Scoop out into a cheese cloth inside a colander to drain for 5 minutes, then tie the cloth to the sink faucet
and drip free of any liquid 15 minutes or so.
It keeps 4 days in the refrigerator and makes 3 cups of wonderful ricotta. Sprinkle with salt. |
