Ricotta Cheese.
By SUNFLOWER71

Ingredients Directions
Step 1
1 gallon whole milk
Pour the milk into a large pot, and heat until the temperature
¼ cup white or cider vinegar reaches 195 degrees F (90 degrees C), or almost boiling. Stir
constantly to prevent scorching on the bottom of the pot.
1 pinch salt When the milk reaches the temperature, remove from the heat,
and stir in the vinegar. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Step 2
Line a strainer with cheesecloth, and set over the sink or a
large pot or bowl. The milk should separate into a white solid
part, and a yellowish liquid (whey). Stir the salt into the milk,
then pour through the cloth-lined strainer. Let the curds
continue to drain in the strainer for 1 hour. Discard the whey.

Step 3
A"er the cheese has finished draining, pat into a ball, and
remove from the cheese cloth. Wrap in plastic and store in the
refrigerator until ready to use. Fresh cheese will usually last
about a week.
