Cheese Recipe
....
This cheese is used in various
Italian pastries and desserts. It also tastes great on a piece of
toast with sprinkled sugar!
.
INGREDIENTS
.
1 qt Light Cream
1/4 teaspoon Tartaric Acid**
-
Heat 1 qt of LIGHT CREAM to 180F (82C)
-
Add 1/4 teaspoon TARTARIC ACID
-
Stir for about 10-15 minutes
-
The cream should thicken with small flecks of curd.
-
Using a DOUBLE layer of FINE cheesecloth in a strainer,
pour off the whey and let it drain for about an hour.
-
Put the strainer in a bowl and place it in the refrigerator
to drain overnight (or 12 hours).
-
In the morning, scoop out the cheese and put into
an airtight container.
** Tartaric Acid is available from any cheesemaking
supply company and most wine making companies. Since at home winemaking
is much more common, look in your phone book for a local winemaking supply
store. Many wine and liquor stores carry wine making supplies and
may have tartaric acid.
