Curd Cheese - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  over 5 hrs

ingredients

4 tablespoons yogurt
OR
5 tablespoons lemon juice
2 quarts milk

directions

You will need a saucepan, a bowl, and a sieve.

If using yogurt, bring the milk to a boil and then leave it to cool to finger temperature (100 degrees F). Mix milk with the yogurt in a basin. Put in a warm place for 4 to 5 hours to set as solid as yogurt.

If using lemon juice, stir into the milk and bring it to a near boil (200 degrees F) in a bowl set in a saucepan of water. Remove and keep in a warm place for 4 to 5 hours.

Pour the mixture into a sieve lined with a scalded clean cloth. After an hour put a plate on top to weight and encourage the whey to drip through. The curds in the cloth are the cheese.

Cover and store in a cool pantry, and it will keep for about a week. Drink the whey, flavored with fruit juice, for your health, or use to to make scones. Keep in refrigerator and eat within 2 days.

    I don't understand. Is it an either or scenario? Either you use yogurt or lemon juice? Please rewrite this recipe, it is very confusing. Please add more detail.

    • Yes, it says to use one or the other. Reading the directions also confirms that as it gives you alternate procedures depending on which you choose.
