What to do with all that milk!

Wow, that cottage cheese sounds dead simple to make! I really need to get some proper milk. Pity you live so far away, or I'd be round with a jug! ;)
 
That's essentially how to make ricotta, if I remembemr correctly. So what is the difference between the two, I wonder?

Sounds delicious either way!
 
Isn't that crazy. I saw a recipe for ricotta just like that - made exactly the way I make cottage cheese. But, I saw other recipes that say ricotta is a whey product and cottage cheese is a milk product. I guess "traditional" ricotta is made with whey.

I need to get busy and process more of this milk into something not as liquid. Getting nearly 2 gallons a day some days. I don't want to let any of them dry up at this point. Might decide to sell one as a milker. In that case it would help if she had milk!
 
Yep you're right, I forgot it's traditionally made with whey. I made it with milk, so I basically made cottage cheese/ricotta lol. Either way it was good!

Yes when selling a milker it is helpful for her to have milk!
 
HOLY COW! I have found the MOTHER of all recipes for using extra milk! Who knew????

Ya know I'll be making this, lol. But, I've gotta admit that the process might be less than appetizing at some point. Stay tuned!
