I would like to make cottage cheese from it without having to buy any additives. Is there a way?
You sure can! Cottage cheese curds are best made from skim milk. One gallon of skim milk makes about 1 pound of cottage cheese.
You need some rennet (many stores will carry it), a stainless steel or glass pot (not aluminum), a candy thermometer and a colander. These help separate the curd from the whey.
For complete instructions, visit http://www.eslcafe.com/discussion/wwwboard2/messages/4377.phpl , or visit PageWise (http://mi.essortment.com/makecottageche_rloh.php), and for pictures on how to make it, visit http://www.lancewood.co.za/factory/Cottage/cottshow.php.
If your store does not carry rennet, you can order it from the New England Cheesmaking Supply Company (http://www.cheesemaking.com).
