Homemade Ricotta Cheese Recipe from Diane’s Food Blog

Homemade ricotta cheese is surprisingly easy to make, and after tasting it, you will never want to go back to those supermarket brands in plastic containers.

Not a fan of supermarket brands of ricotta cheese? Don’t use it that often? Never really give it any thought? Warning: after using this easy technique to make your own fresh ricotta, you will never want to go back to that gooey stuff in plastic containers, loaded with weird “gums” to make it last longer.  One taste of this fresh and all natural cheese, and you will find yourself scouring cookbooks and the internet for recipes to find new ways to use it.

Look for non-homogenized milk at co-ops and health food stores, as the "regular" stuff won't curdle as well.
