Homemade Ricotta





Oh how I wish I had done this 20 years ago!  This was so easy and look at the creamy lemon-ish color to the ricotta!

Ingredients:

4 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 tsp sea or kosher salt
3 TB white vinegar


Bring milk, cream and salt to a boil on med heat in a stainless or heavy pot, stirring occasionally.  When it comes to a full boil, turn off heat and add vinegar.  Let it sit for about 2 minutes, until it starts to curdle.  Wet some cheesecloth and line a strainer over a large bowl.  Pour milk mixture into strainer and let it sit for about 25-30 minutes.  The longer it sits, the thicker it gets!
