Can you guess what I'm making?
Cheese!
Specifically, I'm attempting to make a whole milk ricotta cheese. It's still in progress, so I'm not sure how it will turn out, but I'm excited. I've made farmer cheese before (delicious!), but I've never tried ricotta. Since I've been getting milk from a nearby farm, I have been doing a bit of experimenting. I've made sour cream, and I absolutely love it. Mostly, I've been drinking the milk, because I love unhomogenized milk, but I'm also trying some other things in the kitchen. More cheeses will be attempted, another week.
Update: Ricotta is delicious!!! I probably drained it too long, but otherwise it is fantastic.
My friend suggested mixing some cream with it, which would work, I think. Or we can just eat it, which may be the case. Right now, it is hiding in the back of the fridge so no one eats it before I figure out how I want to serve it!
