Easy and Fun Recipe: Homemade Cottage Cheese

My daughter recently watched a television program about making cottage cheese and she became very interested in wanting to make her own. A few minutes on the internet and we found dozens of recipes and how- to's.  The recipe we followed was from Val Harrison at Allotment.org.uk. I was curious and hesitant to try the cottage cheese but I must say it tasted good!

Here's what you need:                                            

2 pints of skimmed or semi-skimmed milk.               

2 tablespoons of lemon or white vinegar. (we used lemon)

Pinch of salt

saucepan

wooden spoon

sift or sieve

Here's what you need to do: 

• Pour the milk into the sauce pan and heat until hot but not boiling.
• Stir occasionally and cool down for a few minutes
• Add 2 tablespoons of lemon or white vinegar
• Stir and watch the milk separate into curds and whey
• After cooling put the mixture into your sifter to catch the curds
• Discard the whey
• Transfer the curds into a small bowl and add a pinch of salt
