home made cheese

Home made cheese, I never thought that this was possible.
But I've run into a blog (don't know witch one anymore, sorry for that) and now I really must try this out.
It's pretty easy if you've got everything at home.

What you need:
1 ltr full milk
1 ltr buttermilk
a few drops of lemonjuice
1 tsp salt

1 can of 400 grams with a white interior
Another full can that just fits (serves as little weight)
1 cheesecloth
a long piece of rubber band
1 plate

Make the big can at the top and bottom open and keep the lids.
Heat milk and buttermilk in a large pan. Add a few lemonjuice drops to it.
When milk comes to the boil, you will see that the egg whites clump together in the milk (curd).
Stir for 1 minute. Pour this mixture through a strainer.

Stir the curd well to get all of the liquids out.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt and mix it well trough each other.
I've also addes some Italian spices, but you can also add some nuts or mustard seeds.
Put the empty can on a plate.
Then lay the cheesecloth in and on the can.
Spoon the curd into it. Pull the fabric up so that the cheese can sag properly.
Put the lid on and put the other can on top of the lid.
Stretch the rubber band tightly around it.

Put this for 12 hours in the refrigerator.
And this is the basic recipe for your own cheese!
