Recipe by Taryn Gut of @tarynstastingtable
Ingredients
- 1?2 Gallon Milk
- 1?4 cup Distilled White Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Preparation
- In a large pot, warm milk slowly over medium/medium-low heat. Do not bring to a boil.
- Once small bubbles form and the temperature has reached 190F(if using a thermometer) turn the heat off and slowly add in the vinegar while stirring. Curds will begin to form. Let sit for 15 minutes without stirring.
- Prepare a large bowl by placing a sieve or colander inside and cheesecloth over the sieve.
- Strain the curds. Gather the cloth around cheese to form a ball. Twist and squeeze to get all the whey out. The cloth will still feel wet.
- Open up the cloth, break up the cheese and mix in the salt.
- Let cool before using or placing in the refrigerator.
NOTES: Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a week. Add in fresh chives, scallions or herbs for flavored cheese.
