Categories     Cheese     Easter

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 gallons unpasteurized whole milk
1 cup buttermilk or yogurt
1/4 cheese rennet tablet

Steps:

  • Place container with milk in sink filled with hot water. Warm milk until lukewarm, add buttermilk and mix. Crush tablet and dissolve in spoon of warm water. Mix into milk mixture. Keep container in warm water. When milk sets, take a wooden spoon and cut through milk twice each way. Let stand until curds separate from the whey. Then drain in a cloth bag or strainer lined with cheesecloth. Place in a container and leave at room temperature overnight. In the morning, take out of bag and place in a bowl in the fridge. It can be left out longer for a more sour boodz. I don't know if they make rennet tablets anymore, but it does come in liquid form and I hear you can use pasteurized milk.
