~ How to make simple soft cheese!
 Submitted by Emily Klesick

1 gallon goats or cows milk
¼ cup vinegar

Heat milk to 195 degrees F. Stir constantly to keep it from scorching. When milk is heated, add ¼ cup vinegar, and let sit for 5 minutes. The milk will quickly coagulate into curds, and greenish whey. 

 Cover a colander with cheese cloth and pour curds and whey into it. After it is drained (it takes a few minutes), wrap the edges of the cheese cloth up to make a sort of bag. Hang the bag of curds over the colander and let drain for 1 hour.  When it is finished draining put the soft cheese into a bowl and add salt and pepper. You can also add some different herbs.
