Cottage Cheese

Pour some boiling water into a pan of clotted sour milk. Stir, turn it into a colander, pour a little cold water over it, salt and break it up. A richer way is to put equal parts of buttermilk and thick milk into a kettle together over the fire, heat it until nearly ready to boil, pour into a linen bag and let it drain until the next day. Then remove, salt and put in a little cream or butter, according to whether it is thick or not, and make up into balls the size of an orange.
