    Yep, we were missin' you! Give us all the details, please. I sure don't know how you managed to squeeze that in with everything else!

    Homemade Yogurt **Updated** Cheese and Buttermilk

    Probably so. I love her website. It's very relaxing to me, to go there and just read stuff. Lurking, like you said, Newchickenmom. It even just looks relaxing!

    Homemade Yogurt **Updated** Cheese and Buttermilk

    Here is my cheese! It worked much better this time. Using the cheesecloth, I was able to catch every curd! And have half a gallon of whey. That stuff makes the BEST cornbread!

    Homemade Yogurt **Updated** Cheese and Buttermilk

    OK, I'm taking the laptop into the kitchen right now, to make mozzarella cheese. I'll let y'all know how it goes. I tried it once before, using just the directions that came with my kit, but I think I did something wrong because my whey wasn't clear like the whey from yogurt cheese, and the...

    Homemade Yogurt **Updated** Cheese and Buttermilk

    I gotta tell y'all, I went to the HF store today, and I was getting some more of the Braggs Sprinkle, and I mentioned to the lady that I had made some soft cheese from homemade yogurt. She asked did I have a yogurt machine & I said no, and told her how MissP had shared her recipe for making it...

    Yay! Another convert! You will love the cheese -- even my picky 17 year old liked it, and she won't try too many of my experiments!

    Homemade Yogurt **Updated** Cheese and Buttermilk

    A friend of mine gave me two jars of jelly that were tasty but didn't gel up so they were like a really good syrup. That stuff, especially the cherry, is awesome drizzled on a bowl of this yogurt.

    Homemade Yogurt **Updated** Cheese and Buttermilk

    I couldn't find string to tie mine up with, so I used purple curly ribbon! I don't know for sure about this kind, but I've been reading about making other kinds of cheese, more like the aged kind, and for those they will not do right if the milk has been frozen. But MissPrissy said you can...

    Homemade Yogurt **Updated** Cheese and Buttermilk

    I think they would. My mom used them before for hanging fruit to make jelly. It's pretty much the same principle. the weave is tight enough to keep the stuff in, but big enough to let the juice out, and smooth enough not to get all in the cheese. matter of fact they usually are muslin, and...

    Homemade Yogurt **Updated** Cheese and Buttermilk

    How do you have yours hanging up? I got mine all wrapped up and tied and then stood there looking around for something to hang it on! James' post with the pics of the bucket gave me an idea, so I tied the little bundle to a wooden spoon and set it across the top of my big stockpot. As the...

    Homemade Yogurt **Updated** Cheese and Buttermilk

    Probably, but with the cheese being more solid, therefore more dense, I don't think it is quite 2 cups in volume. Seems to be a little less, although I didn't measure. It probably would be about a cup and a half measured out.

    Homemade Yogurt **Updated** Cheese and Buttermilk

    the cheese is awesome!!! I left some plain, and some I mixed in this herb blend (Braggs sprinkles) from the HF store (kind of like Mrs. Dash). Absolutely wonderful on crackers!!! Miss P, you are da bomb!!! Thanks so much for sharing these recipes with us! I couldn't believe how much...

    Homemade Yogurt **Updated** Cheese and Buttermilk

    I made two quarts of yogurt today (plus a little jar that took what the big jars wouldn't hold), and have one of them dripping in the cheesecloth now. When I made my first couple batches I did them at night and left them in the cooler overnight. This time I did it in the morning, and set the...

    Homemade Yogurt **Updated** Cheese and Buttermilk

    I ran out of yogurt for starter, so I have to get some more first. Today I didn't feel like even getting in the truck much less going anywhere, but tomorrow I'll be getting some and making two quarts this time - one for eatin and one for cheese! When I get my cheese made, I'm gonna mix some...

    Homemade Yogurt **Updated** Cheese and Buttermilk

    Oh good! I was hoping y'all didn't do cheese without me! I got the mozzarella/ricotta kit from New England Cheese Supply, and bought the milk, and have been thinking about jumping on in and following their instructions. I had to wait til after this weekend, though. We put on a big b-day bash...

    Homemade Yogurt **Updated** Cheese and Buttermilk

    I did, and read a bunch of recipes too. This is going to be great! Re: yogurt, I think I just defeated the purpose of organic milk and good health and all that -- I put Hersheys syrup on my yogurt. It's great! It tastes kind of like chocolate sour cream icing.

    Homemade Yogurt **Updated** Cheese and Buttermilk

    www.cheesemaking.com is even cheaper. I figured to get the mozzarella kit has everything we need except the Italase powder. It would be $30.90 from this site. It also has a thermometer, muslin & recipes. Supposed to be enough to make 30 lb of cheese. Buying the 4 ingredients separately...
