Canned Butter/Cheese & More Discount

Re: Canned Butter/Cheese & More Discount

Sounds like a good place to check out. If it is canned I am sure it will last for at least a couple of years without becoming rancid. Just remember to keep all canned foods in a cool dry environment and they will last far longer and have a higher nutritional content. Jars while also good will not remain sealed as long as cans so, if you have a choice go for the cans.

Re: Canned Butter/Cheese & More Discount

This actually has nothing to do with cheese/butter, but thought I would share a little tip for those of you who have a way to keep things cold.
(lemon juice concentrait) If you want to make something that calls for butter milk and have none ,
take 2TBS of lemon juice for every 1cup milk, do not stir just pour it in and let sit for 5 minutes then pour into your recipe. I do this for all of my recipes that call for butter milk. You can not tell that you did'nt use butter milk. And I have used it with regular milk and with powderd milk the taste is the same.
This was a trick my mom used when ever she was in a pinch and had no butter milk. Just wanted to share that....................jlw

In High School we used war surplus hydrogenated vegetable oil for all baking. It was always rancid and had a thread of a brown liquid thoughout. I subsequently learned this liquid was caproic acid---caproic as in goat. I did a lot of the baking and it smelled quite stinky, but the smell cooked off and nothing horrible happened. I couldn't taste it or smell it in the final baked good. I think that rancid oils contain "organic acids" and I don't think they are truly dangerous. Does anyone know for sure....No point in throwing out good nutrition when it is scarce.

For those of you who cannot buy canned butter and cheese...it is possible to can it yourself.

I know, I know...it goes against USDA recommendations...but it can be done, and it's not all that difficult to do.

Re: Canned Butter/Cheese & More Discount

Has anyone made homemade cottage cheese?
I was going to buy some rennet and try making a batch, but after reading these 2 sites I changed my mind.
It looks like too much bother, and they say it does not turn out as good as commercially made.

I remember my mother & grandmother making it once. They called it Farmer's Cheese. They never made it again. They did not like it, so they made a cheesecake out of it.

But then I thought it over. During a pandemic, comercially made is out of the question. And I do have some cans of Pet Milk, evaporated. And a couple boxes of dry milk. Maybe more of a variety in the menu would be a good idea.
And using it in cheesecake sounds O.K....providing there is power to make it with.

It looks like rennet does not have a very long shelf life.

Has anyone tried making it out of canned or dry milk, and if so, is it any good?

Here are the 2 sites I looked into:

Re: Canned Butter/Cheese & More Discount

I haven't actually tried any of these, but I've collected some recipes to use with powdered milk to provide yogurt, yogurt cheese, cottage cheese and so forth.

This link is to a wealth of information for using powdered milk

This one is to a simple sounding recipe for Lemon Cheese

link to simple sounding recipe for Ricotta cheese
http://homecooking.about.com/od/beefrecipes/r/bldairy48.htm

Don't remember where I got this one:
Homemade Low Fat Cottage Cheese Recipe

Mix 1/2 teaspoon Citric Acid with 2 tablespoons water, warm if necessary. Bring 1 quart of Non Fat or low fat milk to a simmer wile stirring and mixing in the dissolved Citric Acid. When milk fully curdles turn off heat and cover for 3 minutes. Place into cheese cloth and drain out whey, washing outside of cloth as needed. Press curds under heavy weight for 4 hours draining off whey. Cottage cheese is ready for use. This form of cottage cheese is commonly known as paneer in India.

Re: Canned Butter/Cheese & More Discount

Thanks.
Those sites look much better than the ones I found. And the cheese looks easier to make also. All I want is some cottage cheese to mix with my canned fruit if/when the pademic hits.

When I have time, I'll try making some.

This is a great company with excellent information and supplies for making cheese at home. I have ordered from them in the past and followed directions and made very good cheese. http://www.cheesemaking.com/

Re: Canned Butter/Cheese & More Discount

I've used the Hillbilly Housewife site to make sweetened condensed milk...and then canned it, both as ordinary (fifteen minutes boiling water) and as that wonderful caramel jam stuff (three hours boiling water bath).

Re: Canned Butter/Cheese & More Discount

PS There are two versions of the canned butter...one is the 'shaken' method, and one is the slightly less cooked and then strained version. I prefer the taste of the strained version...and I give both kinds a ten minute boiling water bath.
