I use an ancient recipe: I keep milk a day (summer) or two (winter) outside the fridge then boil it. drain when it cools down a bit. that's what people did in the past when there was no electricity and fridge.
What did you do in the garden today?

Brr 24 this morning. The big chill is here. On the bright side no bugs to bother us outside.
And the mice will try to move in. Snap traps are baited and armed.

Those all look delicious!Guess I’ve never had ricotta then.That would be marscapone... Not ricotta.
Here is the recipe I used this time, I wanted to try one with the heavy cream. There are basic recipes that just use milk & vinegar or lemon. Or recipes that use rennet, which I think are better.How do I make this deliciousness???

No, TJ is correct, that's mascarpone. Which is delish! But...I do use the home made ricotta to make sweets. DH is a peanut butter freak so I beat some into the ricotta & added a dash of cocoa powder & it's super creamy & good.…is that the same kind of cheese that goes into tiramisu?
This is so true! For years I've had dill popping up all over the garden. & when it starts to come up I can't tell if it's dill, cosmos or carrots.
Wow! That all looks fabulous! I'm so impressed. I would love to make burrata - have you ever tried that? I've done mozzarella & it didn't come out great.
Yes I catch 1 to 3 a day. Various traps in use.
Speaking of mice, the mice are so out of control here my husband made an electric fence to go around the RV & his truck to keep them out. It's been working too - knock on wood. He has bucket traps inside the fence & all sorts of traps in the RV & nothings getting in.
Last year he also built what looks like the 'catseye rodents exclusion system' that goes under the siding so the mice can't get in. That has also worked great, no mice inside since. Or chipmunks either. His looks sort of like this:
I opened the door of my car the other day & there was a mouse sitting there on the bottom ledge of the door (so not actually IN the car) staring at me.
That was a fun drive home.

No I haven't made a Burrata. Mozzarella is difficult to make consistently. Trying to make mozzarella consistently is what made me give up on cheesemaking.Here is the recipe I used this time, I wanted to try one with the heavy cream.

3-4 years later I decided to try making Cheddar skipping the so-called beginners cheese Mozzarella. Cheddar is 100 times easier to make for me.
