Ingredients:

  • 8 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream (optional)
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Heat milk and, if desired, whipping cream in a saucepan over medium heat to 190°. (Do not boil.) Add buttermilk, stirring until large curds form.
  2. Line a colander with several layers of cheesecloth or a coffee filter; pour mixture into colander. Let stand 20 to 30 minutes to drain. Press cheese mixture slightly to remove remaining liquid.
  3. Invert cottage cheese onto a serving dish; sprinkle with salt. Cover and chill 8 hours. Serve with fresh fruit, if desired.
