Raw cottage cheese is a great way to help use up your raw milk. This specific recipe keeps the raw aspect throughout the whole process which is great since it is probably one of the main reasons you're consuming raw milk in the first place.

Method
 

  1. Pour your clabbered milk into a stock pot.

Notes

This recipe can be made in smaller or larger quantities. A gallon of raw milk will yield about a quart of cottage cheese.
