Homemade Ricotta

Making your own ricotta is actually quite an easy thing to do. It’s also a great way to use up milk that’s close to its use by date. Ricotta goes great in veggie lasagne or homemade ravioli. Here’s how to make it…

INGREDIENTS:

• 2L of Schultz Organic Dairy full cream milk

• 1/3 cup of either vinegar or lemon juice

• A pinch of salt

METHOD:

1. Pour the milk into a heavy based pot and add a pinch of salt.

2. Slowly bring the milk to about 90ºC, stirring constantly.

3. Once the milk reaches 90ºC, lower the heat and add either your vinegar or lemon juice and stir through.

4. Turn off the heat and allow to sit for 15 minutes.

5. Strain into a muslin lined colander and leave to drain to your desired moisture level.
