Homemade Cottage Cheese


































Psalm 130:7-8


    [7] O Israel, hope in the LORD!

        For with the LORD there is steadfast love,

        and with him is plentiful redemption. 

    [8] And he will redeem Israel

        from all his iniquities.



I've always wanted to make homemade cottage cheese

This was a success 

Creamy and delicious 



Part 1

1 gal whole milk

3/4 c white vinegar


Part 2

1 t kosher salt 

1/2 c heavy cream( optional but it makes it so creamy)


Pour milk into large heavy pot

Heat on medium low heat to 190 degrees, stirring often to keep milk from scalding

If milk doesn't reach 190 degrees it will not curdle


Once milk reaches 190 degrees, remove from heat

Add vinegar in thirds stirring with wooden spoon 

It should curdle immediately 

Rest, covered, 30 minutes 


Prepare a colander and large bowl

Line with colander with cheesecloth and set in bowl


After the 30 minute rest, use a slotted spoon to to dip out solids into the cheesecloth lined colander

Rest another 30 minutes 


Remove cheesecloth with the curds

Squeeze out liquid while you run cold water over cheesecloth ball

Set in another bowl

Loosely separate curds 

Add salt and slightly stir 

Add cream 2 T at a time to add creaminess 


Chill, cover and serve after 1 hour

Should last 5-7 days

Mine will last 5 days because my milk expires the end of the month

Psalm 127:1-2


A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.


    [1] Unless the LORD builds the house,

        those who build it labor in vain.

    Unless the LORD watches over the city,

        the watchman stays awake in vain.
