Based on what I’ve read of your cooking and canning abilities…you can definetly make paneer.

Paneer making is the same as tofu making: pour a coagulant into the milky substance so it curdles and then drain of the whey(I’ve never saved the whey…not sure if it can be used) while pressing the curds into a cheese cloth.

I used whole milk and get it to a point where its about to boil. Then I lower the heat and pour lemon juice (about 1 tsp at a time)and stir. Repeat until no more milk curdles, then pour the entire thing through a cheese cloth and wring it tightly. I store it in the fridge until its ready to use.

I’m interested in how you make cheese. Is it pretty easy? Do you save the whey that drains off?

Sorry about that - missing word - Some orgs will PICK things up if you call them and arrange a time.

Do you have a local hospice chapter? Ours here (and maybe the goodwill too) will things up if you call them.

N, the goodwill/salvation army idea is good except that I’d have to rent a car to haul that stuff over..and I’m not sure it worth it.

Goodwill or the salvation army is probably a better choice then the sidewalk. I agree craigslist people are flaky that’s why we don’t really bother with it anymore.

The yogurt came out well…perfect actually. I’m going to use some of it to make smoothies tomorrow (yogurt + strawberries).

Wow! You’ve been busy! How did the yogurt come out? I’m making some as we speak. The last batch didn’t set so I’m remaking. I have my fingers crossed!
