Ricotta

Today we turned our hand to making ricotta.

First we put milk and some extra cream in a pot and gently heated it until it was just boiling. We had to stir it so it wouldn't stick to the bottom of the pot.




Then we squeezed some lemon juice and added it to the pot along with some salt. It then had to simmer for a few minutes.


Can you see the curds that formed in the milk?

Mr Haste poured it into some cheesecloth to separate the curds from the whey. We had to lift it up so the whey could drain easily.



Here is the finished product - extra fresh ricotta cheese.
