Ricotta 2

Making Ricotta again! 

This time, I'm doing things a little differently. I made a half batch, that's a half gallon of whole milk and two cups of buttermilk. I'm checking how long it takes to get from fridge temperature to the required 180 degree mark.

At 10 minutes in, the milk was at 100 degrees, according to the candy thermometer.

At 17 minutes, it is looking  "cottage cheesy" and resembles the ceiling texture in most of my house. The temperature was 150.

It has now reached 180, and that is at about 20 minutes. Now to ladle it out and let it drip for an hour.

It's easier working with a half batch.
