Homemade Ricotta Cheese

I tried making ricotta cheese last week - soooo easy and it worked out great! Here are some photos of the process.My ingredients are: 1/2 gallon of 2% milk, 8 1/2 tsp. of vinegar, a bit of salt...and time!
After the milk is heated, the vinegar makes the curds pretty quick - just have to wait about 2 hours before spooning the curds onto the cheesecloth...then another few hours for it to fully drain.
Yummy homemade pizzas! Pesto, ricotta, tomatoes, zucchini and fresh garlic and herbs = delicious Friday night dinner
Meredith looks as though she is pouting in this photo - "what, no pizza for me?!"
