Homemade Ricotta
Real ricotta is made with whey, but this simplified recipe for homemade ricotta calls for just whole milk and vinegar. Enjoyed fresh, it will still be way better than what you can find in a store.Be sure to use whole milk, rather than skim or nonfat milk, which don’t have enough fat to create the curds. Then to curdle the milk, you can use apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Avoid stronger vinegars, such as red wine vinegar, which usually leaves a too-pronounced acidic taste in the final product.
