The

StilLRoom

only

to

take

a

quart

of

thick

cream,

put

it

with

two

drops

of rennet

into

a

napkin

which

has

been

freshly

rinsed

out

in

cold

spring

water,

and

sprinkle

a

little

salt

over

it.

Tie

up

the

cream

in

the

napkin

as

tightly

as

possible,

and

hang

it

up

in

the

dairy.

It

may

be

eaten

in

twenty-four

hours.

The

napkin

must

be

changed

at

night,

and

again

in

the

morning,

for

a

fresh

one

wrung

out

in

cold

water.

When

the

cream

cheese

comes

out

of

the

dining-room,

it

must

be

again

tied

up

in

a

clean

damp

napkin

and

taken

immediately

to

the

dairy.

Grewelthorp

Cream

Cheese

is

equally

simple

in

its

manufacture.

Take

one

quart

of

new

milk,

and

put

it

with

a

few

drops

of

rennet

in

a

warm

place,

where

it

must

remain

for

twenty-four

hours.

Then

put

in

a

little

salt,

stir

the

milk

well,

tie

it

up

in

a

cloth,

and

hang

it

up

in

the

dairy

to drain.

If a

richer

cheese

is

required,

add

half

a

pint

of

cream

to

the

new

milk.

A

number

of

soft

cheeses

may

be

made

with

the

help

of

some

tinned

iron

cylindrical

moulds

open

at

both

ends.

These

moulds

may

be

of

various

diameters

and

depths.

Some

loose

squares

of

wood,

some

entire

and

others

perforated,

of

various

sizes,

to

serve

as

bottoms

and

tops

of

the

moulds,

must

also

be

provided

;

and

straw

mats

of

the

same

size

as

the

boards

are

also

desirable.

A

good

average

size

for

the

moulds

is

five

inches

in

diameter,

and

four

inches

in

depth.

About

two

quarts

of

milk

are

required

to

make

one

cheese

for

this

size

mould.
