Thread: Mrs. Hawg's farmer cheese.

  1. #1

    Mrs. Hawg's farmer cheese.

    This is a half batch but the recipe is for 1 gallon raw milk.



    1 gallon milk bring to a temp of about 200° don't let it boil and don't stop stirring so it won't stick to pan.
    Add 1/3 cup vinegar white or ACV stir in slowly then take off the burner let sit for 10 minutes.


    Pour into a cloth like muslin and let the whey drain off.

    Squeezing out the rest of the whey now then add 1 tablespoon of Himalayan salt or kosher and what ever spice you want like dill, basil etc.

    Here is what it looks like strained off.



    After the salt and spice.. we did dill this time. Put it in a bowl smash it down cover and put in the frig.

    never had farmers cheese before
    what dose it taste like?
    It happened before, it can happen again.
    It happened there, it can happen here.
    It happened to that person, it can happen to you.

    Yeah it should be stiff enough to smoke we just sliced a couple pieces right from the bowl it came right out and its only just now cooled but not cold yet and still sliced.

    Its very mild texture is good. The possibilities are endless add some cayenne smoked paprika slap your mama anything you like.

    The half gallon we did tonight yielded about 11ozs cheese from our raw milk. The cream in the raw milk is thick right now as the cows have been eating grass all summer. I expect the yield to be less come winter when they are on hay.

    Its really mild Gambit the salt can hardly be tasted. Its great on crackers or a salad etc. It doesn't melt it does slice somewhat though. It could be crumbled for salads or pizza.

    We used raw milk but this can be done with whole milk just try not to use the high heat pasturized milk as it won't seperate. You can get organic milk that is vat pasturized which is done at a lower temp.
