Winter Cream Cheese - Lady Coves
Take six quarters of new milk & put to it three pints of Cream, beat some Marigolds & squeeze the juice into your milk, then run it it to the intended curd, break it before you put it into the fat, when you put it into press somebody must stand by it for it will be apt to run out of the fat, because it must be pressed by degrees, & only with some pound weight, when you take it out of the fat, rub a little salt & put it in again till next day then take it out & dry it.
