A soft cheese made from strained yogurt

 

 

Materials:

a cheesecloth

a wooden spoon

a pitcher or tall pot

 

ingredients:

 

yogurt

salt, if desired. 

 

First sterilize the cloth by poking it into rolling boiling water, for a few minutes, with the wooden spoon.  Once cooled, lay the cheesecloth over the pitcher. 

 

Pour some yogurt onto the cloth.  (Mix a little salt into the yogurt first if desired.)   Tie the ends of the cloth around the spoon, and set over the pitcher, allowing the liquid (whey*) from the yogurt to drip into the pitcher.  Set in a cool place.  Allow to drip for a few days.  When finished, untie the cloth and serve the cheese over salad, in olive oil, or with honey. 

 

* The whey can be reserved and used to make a delicious Sourdough starter!
