If you are just looking for something folksy to do, for an apartment
dweller making cheeze (preserving milk) might be preferable to making jam
and jelly (preserving fruit and berries). Milk and milk powder are
avialable all year 'round. The equipment is simple. For most cheeses you
do need to obtain a bacterial culture from a specialist supplier. That's
the only tricky part. The culture lasts for a few months in the 'fridge.
There is lots of info on the Internet. Our local public library has a few
books and a video. There's also alt.cheese but it's not very active.

Once you make you own cheese you can make your own cheese cake.
