day nineteen

Phew, a busy day - A couple of hours in the garden before the heat set in - then a call from DD1 with a broken down car so an unscheduled trip into town.
In the afternoon I got to try out my new cheese making kit, DD2 acquired me some milk (you need unpasteurised milk) straight out of the vat

heat the milk, add a couple of cheese making ingredients, keep in a warm bath for 45 minutes

cut the curds and stir gently until they firm up a bit - strain into cheese cloth, press under weight for half an hour. Cut into desired size pieces

drop gently into boiling water until they rise and remove

sprinkle with salt and leave to cool

And it's ready!

It tastes just like the bought stuff - it's great
