Home Made Ricotta Cheese






Homemade Ricotta Cheese

4 C Whole Milk
2 C Half & Half
pinch kosher or sea salt, no iodine
1/8 C white vinegar

Bring milk to a simmer and stir for 4-5 minutes
(you will see little clots forming)
Take off burner and stir for another 4-5 minutes
Drain this in a colander for 5 minutes.

Fantastic, sweet delicious, add herbs and garlic for 
a spread or bake with your favorite pasta.
Don't throw away the whey, use in a soup or cook new potatoes in the broth.
