How To Make Homemade Ricotta

By Jennifer Meier, About.com Guide

Gather the cheesecloth around the curds and tie at the top with a rubberband. Hang the bundle of curds so more moisture will drip out. You can hang the bundle from your faucet, or set a ladle handle across the top of a pot and hang the bundle from the ladle handle, as pictured. Let the cheese drain for 45 minutes to an hour.
