COTTAGE CHEESE I Heat very slowly 1 quart sour milk to lukewarm over warm water and turn into a strainer lined with cheesecloth. Pour over 1 quart warm water, and as soon as water has drained through, pour over another quart; then repeat. Gather cheesecloth around curd to form a bag and let hang until curd is free from whey. Moisten with melted butter and heavy cream, sweet or sour. Add salt to taste.
