Several weeks ago there was a
plea sent out by Mrs. Melvin
Martin, Kutztown RD3, for
cheese recipes as well as any tips
any of you readers might have for
successful making of cheese.
You haven’t let us down.
Several more have been
received, which we present to you
for your trial and error.
We pass on to you the com
ments from a reader and recipe
sharer who wishes to remain
anonymous. Her advice is sage:
“If at first you don’t succeed, try,
try again ” How often has this
comment been made as we teach
our daughters, sons too, not to
give up when the going gets rough
- in the kitchen, in school, in
church, or wherever it may be. So
shouldn’t this advice be good for
us, too?
We are interested in receiving
recipes from more of you
readers, too. Won’t you take a
few minutes to jot down a recipe,
or recipes, of your choice and
send them to: Recipes, Lancaster
Farming, Box 266, Lititz, Pa.
17543. We will send you a
potholder as our way of saying
“Thanks”

My Favorite Homemade
Cheese Recipe
2% Junket tablets to every 8
quarts whole milk, not sour, but
not all of it should be too fresh.
Heat milk to lukewarm Add
junket tablets which have been
dissolved in a little cold water.
Let stand till firm Then cut into
curds Heat curds slowly with
your hand in it, stirring and
making curds finer until so warm
that you can’t stand your hand in
it anymore. Pour into sack,
letting whey run off.
When drained, put the cheese
into a cheese press + for two
days Then take it out of press
and sprinkle with salt on all sides.
Put in cellar and about a week
later you will have cheese that
looks and tastes a lot like store
bought cheese
+A simple cheese press can be
made by punching holes down
ward in the bottom of a molasses
can and bending the rim out so
that the lid of the can falls in on
the cheese and putting a weight
on top of the hd.

Cup Cheese
2 quart crumbs
e on the Range
4 cups water
6 teaspoons soda (scant)
3 teaspoons salt
Let milk stand till thick, like
junket. Heat slowly till it is too
hot to hold in hand. Stir often.
Pour in cheese cloth to drain
overnight.
“I put crumbs in quart boxes
and put in freezer for a couple
weeks. The lumps seem to
dissolve better when you’re
making cheese.
“Sometimes you don’t need
four cups water, depends on how
wet or dry your crumbs are,”
