Homemade Ricotta - Cheesemaking

[@catr9698]

When I worked at the cheese dept at a whole foods, a lady told me that she would mix a bit of almond extract on her ricotta. Never tried but the ricotta was pretty spectacular 👌.

Sounds like it would be!

Ok, I've worked my way backwards through your cheese making videos and you've got me inspired. This Ricotta looks like a good starting place ad I already have everything needed in my kitchen. Thanks for your easy to follow instructions!

[@angelaenos3797]

You are amazing! Thanks for sharing the process! Cheese always seemed out of my reach, but you made it look achievable!!! Can’t wait to follow along this process.

[@TheHappyHomestead]

You can do it!

[@Truelaine1]

Loving your cheese making series!!!!!

[@TheHilary49]

I love all your videos. I’ve watched them all at least twice. But I have to say I was laughing my head off on the mozzarella and ricotta cheese video you obviously took down. I loved it. I could so relate. The other video that wasn’t funny but I couldn’t help but laugh was the one you said your bees we’re trying to kill you. That was horrific how many stings you got. I felt your pain. But I love how you find humor in everything. I hope you do the January challenge again. They really help me. Thank you

[@TheHappyHomestead]

You are so kind, thank you for your support! I have laughed many times thinking back to that bee sting day....wasn't the first and won't be the last. haha I am doing the challenge in Jan, and I'm looking forward to it.

Your dog is trying to steal your thunder! 😂😂😂

[@TheHappyHomestead]

He always is....he's hilarious.

[@Thisisit120]

People that don’t have raw milk just don’t understand our whole fascination with cream. 😆

[@TheHappyHomestead]

So true!!

If you were to use lemon juice how much would you use?

[@TheHappyHomestead]

I actually would NOT substitute lemon juice for citric acid. You can't be guaranteed the level of acidity with lemon juice, and even with bottled juice where the acidity is more consistent, citric acid is more concentrated. I do not have experience with using lemon juice in place of citric acid, so I can't confidently recommend an amount or tell you it will work the same way.

Can you lemon juice instead of citic acid

[@TheHappyHomestead]

Great use for the whey!! Great job!
