Ricotta

1. Put the milk, cream and salt into a pot, do not boil. Cook to 190 degrees. There will be bubbles around the rim of the pan, but it will not yet have begun to simmer. This is known as a "scald".

2. Turn off the burner. Pour in the buttermilk and whisk for about 20 seconds. Sit 5 minutes.

3. Pour through a double layer of cloth into a bowl to catch all the whey. Drain 10-20 minutes.

4. Note: The whey is very good for boiling pasta, grains, legumes, or vegetables, especially artichokes.
