Mock Healthy Velveeta Cheese
Heat 1 gallon raw milk to 140 degrees. Remove from heat and add 2 tablespoons citric acid or enough white vinegar to curdle milk (about 1/4 cup). Stir gently until separated. Drain off whey by putting into colander lined with cheese cloth (save whey for chickens!). Let sit for about 10 mins before adding to the curds, 3/4 to 1 tsp. baking soda, 1/4 c. butter, 1 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 cup of additional milk. Heat slowly, gently stirring together. Pour into a buttered jars or containers to keep for later in the fridge or use as you would for queso thinning further with milk and adding jalapenos, onions, tomatoes, etc. to taste.
