Ingredients

  • 2 Qrts. whole milk, the fresher the better, I use unpasturized organic from local source. shopping list
  • 2/3 Cup whole milk yogurt, again the fresher the better! The cultures need to be alive, its not chemically necessary but I think it tastes better. shopping list

How to make it

  • Pour milk and yogurt into sauce pan and bring to at least 190° over medium heat. Do not bring to a boil.
  • When you begin to see curdles forming, continue to heat for 4 - 5 minutes to insure full coagulation.
  • Cover strainer or colander with cheese cloth and place over large pot.
  • Pour curds and whey through the cheese cloth, press lightly to remove excess liquid, allow ricotta to cool and enjoy!
