Make Your Own Cottage Cheese

Why pay more, when you can make it at home?

I love cottage cheese and if you're a vegetarian it's a great source of protein at about 15 grams per serving. It's also a good source of calcium and Vitamin D. In a recent issue of Mother Earth News, Chris Long wrote about making your own cottage cheese and it’s delicious. Best part, you can make it in the crock pot so while it takes a day, you don’t have to do very much work.

Here's how to make your own:

Crock Pot Cottage Cheese

Ingredients:
½ cup buttermilk
1 gallon milk
¼ cup cream
salt and pepper to taste

Method:

  1. In a crockpot, stir the buttermilk into the milk. Use whole local milk here.

  2. Let stand at room temperature until clabbered or curdled (about 12 to 18 hours). Cut the clabber into large cubes.

  3. Put back in the crock pot at 300 degrees until the whey separates from curds. Stir occasionally (it will take eight to 12 hours).

  4. Drain with a cheese cloth. Add enough cream to get the consistency that you like and then salt and pepper to taste.
