1 gallon whole milk, 1 pinch salt, 1 large lemon, juiced
Pour the milk into a large pot, and stir in a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the milk from burning. When the milk begins to boil, turn off the heat. Stir the lemon juice into the milk which will curdle. Line a sieve or colander with cheesecloth and pour the milk through the cloth. What is left in the cheesecloth is the Farmer's Cheese. Gather the cloth around the cheese, and squeeze out as much of the water as you can. You can throw away the liquid. Wrap in plastic or place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. If you want a flavorful cheese, you can add herbs to the mixture.
