Quark Cheese Recipe

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons live culture plain yogurt or wine vinegar or 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 quarts whole milk

Directions:

1)You will need a saucepan, a bowl, a sieve, and a scalded cloth to line sieve.

2)If using yogurt, bring the milk to a boil and then leave it to cool to finger temperature (100°F).

3)Mix the milk with the yogurt in a basin.

4)Put in a warm place for 4 to 5 hours to set as solid as yogurt.

5)If using vinegar or lemon juice, stir into the milk and bring it to a near boil (200°F) in a bowl set in a saucepan of water.

6)Remove and keep in a warm place for 4 to 5 hours.

7)Pour the mixture into a sieve lined with a scalded clean cloth.

8)After an hour put a plate on top to weight and encourage the whey to drip through.

9)The curds in the cloth are the cheese (Quark).

10)Cover and store the Quark in a cool pantry, and it will keep for about a week.

11)You can use the whey, flavored with fruit juice, as a beverage- or use it to make scones.

12)Store the whey in refrigerator and use within 2 days.
