Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups fresh whole milk shopping list
- 3 tablespoons buttermilk shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon rennet shopping list
- 1/3 cup heavy cream shopping list
- sugar to taste and for sprinkling shopping list
- 2 pounds fresh strawberries, sliced shopping list
How to make it
- In a large bowl, mix the milk, buttermilk and rennet.
- Cover loosely with cheesecloth and let stand in a warm place until solid.
- Drain off liquid by placing a strainer lined with cheesecloth over another strainer.
- Pour the contents of the bowl into the cheesecloth and leave to drain; this will take about 12 hours, so it's best to leave it overnight.
- Turn the cheese solids into another bowl and mix in the cream and sugar.
- For Beltaine, Midsummer or Imbolg:
- In a serving dish, layer the cheese and strawberries.
- Sprinkle each layer with sugar.
- Top with a layer of cheese and decorate with whole berries.
- Variation:
- Use blueberries, raspberries or even blackberries.
- Recipe is from "Celtic Folklore Cooking" by Joanne Asala.
