No. 3649 — Ordinary Homemade Caraway Cheese without Sour Cream
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3649 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Prepare as in recipe No. 3648, but omit sour cream and use only soured milk.
One vedro soured milk is said to yield about 6 pounds pressed tvorog after whey drains.
Salt those 6 pounds with approximately 7 zolotniks salt and add ½–1 glass caraway seed.
Historical editorial note: The linked historic curdling and drying process is not a modern validated dairy procedure.
Original source: Read Russian recipe No. 3649. Historical quantities and terminology are retained. See the measurements guide. Period preparation and storage methods are not modern safety guidance.
