Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
Ingredients
* 1 quart whole milk
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 4 Tbsps lemon juice (Fresh)
* Salt to taste
Directions
1. Bring milk and cream to a simmer very slowly in a thick-bottomed saucepan. Once simmering, turn off the heat.
2. Add the lemon juice a little bit at a time and stir. Add enough lemon juice to curdle the milk/cream mixture (you may need a bit more or less than the 4 tablespoons). The whey, the watery liquid that has separated from the solids (a.k.a. the curds), should be translucent.
3. Let stand for 5 minutes then gently ladle or pour into a fine sieve or colander lined with cheesecloth. Allow to drain for at least 1 hour or until the cheese reaches the desired thickness.
Pull up corners of cheesecloth and squeeze out any liquid.
4. Transfer the curds to a bowl and season with salt to taste.
Can add some herbs and eat with crackers, too
