We have a total surplus of fresh milk here. Considering how we are just two people and we are adding about a gallon of milk a day to the fridge, its hard to get ahead. Today I decided to tackle the problem head on. I made two batches of chocolate pudding. One batch I put in the freezer pop mold so we can enjoy them on a hot summer day. The other batch I put directly into jelly size mason jars to take in lunches. I made a batch of yogurt which should yield 7 yogurt containers worth of yogurt. And currently I have my attempt at cheese hanging from a cabinet pull. I followed a simple recipe for farmers cheese but had some issues. First off, during the time specified in the recipe, I didnt have any curds. So I had to re-cook the milk and add more lemon juice. That mixture bubbled over the pot. Now my kitchen smells like burnt milk. ulgh. On a good note, it did curdle that time and I have a nice batch of curds hanging. Hubby and I are going to the movies tonight so hopefully when we get back, we will have cheese.
