First let me explain how I ended up with this "curd". I think it's curd. When I turn my pasteurizer off, I usually just let the milk set in there until I feed it to the babies. The babies are gone, so it set in the past'r over night. Then I went to the hospital with chest pain.... not my heart... but I was there most of the day. So last night I find this 2lbs of milk in the jar in the past'r that is thick and pulls away from the side of the jar smoothly and evenly. There's also some whey pocketed in a few places. So, can I turn this into cheese of some kind? and how do I do that? Thank you so much.
yep would hand it and let it drain you have the old fashioned way of making cheese will either come out as a cream cheese type or crumbly like cottage cheese to which you would add a little cream /salt or use dry on salads.
I let it hang for about 6 hours, then put it in the fridge. It tasted good. I was gonna add some salt to dip chips in, but I ended up using it in mashed potatoes. Very good. I'm gonna have to try making cheese the right way now.
