Have you ever made your own ricotta? I made some a couple of weeks
ago, and my God! It was delicious! Totally creamy, unlike commercial
ricotta, which can be grainy.

All you need is milk, lemon juice or vinegar (I used fresh lemon
juice), and a pinch of salt.

This is the recipe I used:

It will start out looking like it isnt' going to firm up, but put it
in the fridge for a couple of hours and it's good.
