Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 hello all! Would following this recipe make an SCD safe DCCC / farmers cheese? Ingredients: 2 quarts whole milk 2 cup buttermilk 1 tablespoon white vinegar 1 1/2 tsp salt cheesecloth, rinsed In a heavy-bottomed pot, over low heat, slowly heat the milk up, stirring often, until it is just about to simmer (about 180 degrees F). Stir in the buttermilk, and then the vinegar, and turn off the heat. Very slowly stir until you see the milk separating into curds (the solids) and whey (the liquid). Leave undisturbed for 10 minutes. Line a large strainer with 2 layers of cheesecloth, and place over a stockpot to catch the whey. After the 10 minutes, ladle the curds into the cheesecloth, and allow the whey to drain for 10 minutes. Gather up the edges of the cheesecloth, and tie a string around the top to form bundle. Tie the string to a wooden spoon or dowel, and hang the cheese curds over the stockpot and continue draining for 30 minutes. (I found this recipe here: http://americanfood.about.com/od/appetizersandsoups/r/farmercheese.htm) If I understand the process, this should get rid of all the lactose?
