How to Make Cottage Cheese - Smierkase image

An heirloom recipe impractical for most modern cooks (don't know how this would work with storebought, pasteurized and homogenized milk). If desired, add 1/2 teaspoon of grated onion, caraway seeds, green onion tops, or garlic to the cheese. From the Pennsylvania Dutch chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts institute of Chicago, 1947. Posted as a historical novelty. Cooking time is approximate draining time.
