COTTAGE CHEESE
Take 2 quarts or more of sour milk or cream, and add to it the same quantity of rapidly boiling water, turn into a straining-bag, and hang up until dry. When ready to use, turn out of the bag and rub until smooth; add a seasoning of salt and pepper and a little sweet cream. Beat until light and serve ice-cold. A little cream can be served to eat upon it, if liked.
This can also be made by heating the sour milk or cream and using no water, but the milk must only be heated enough to separate and not enough to boil.
