A Simple Cheese





This one is really easy to make and you can add your own touch, your own favorite flavors and herbs  to the mix.
I heat one gallon of milk to 175F degrees..



Stir in one cup of white vinegar...



Strain through cheesecloth..








I added salt to taste and about 2 tablespoons of butter...



I didn't use a cheese press. I just pressed it into a bowl, covered it and chilled overnight in the fridge...






Topped with a sweet, hot chile sauce...






I like this cheese, it's so easy to make and the variations are endless. You can add just about any of your favorite herbs or seasonings. Jalapenos, pickled peppers, scallions, garlic, etc..

It's not a good melting cheese but it's a great crumbling cheese.


Everything is going well here. The virus hasn't really been a factor in my life. The stores I frequent are still open and operating as usual. I live in the middle of nowhere so friends are still living live normally. The cattle still need tended, the pigs, chickens, etc., are thriving and the garden is doing great.

Hope everyone is healthy and happy and doing well!
Thanks for stopping by!

Glad to hear you are doing well. The cheese sounds great, and how wonderful all the resources you have. Praise God!

I wish I could say nothing has changed here, but there have been so many since March.
I just praise God for all He gives us and does for us.

God bless.

Hey cowgirl, still amazing I see! I wondered thru our blog just to see when the last time I posted was and then saw you’d made something yummy and had to come my and check it out. I’ll tell JP about it. My system has to tolerance for dairy which isn’t fair! But, of all the things in life that aren’t fair I reckon I’ll live thru it. That cheese sure looks yummy tho. I hope you’re doing well.

We are safe and healthy. Lost our home to tornadoes and hurricanes; but the Lord watched over us and kept us safe.
Covid, weather and other strange problems are slowing the acquiring of a new home; but I am trusting God to provide it for us.

Be safe and God bless! :)

Dang it Linda... So sorry to hear of your house loss! I'm thankful you and family weren't hurt!!
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!

Thank you! We are getting closer to having our new home; but God has His reasons for going slow. Or so it seems to me. :)

Be safe and God bless!
