I am hoping someone can assist me in finding a recipe or methodology to make a specific type of farm cheese that my great grandmother made. I am trying to find it so I can make it for my dad. He remembers eating it as a child....and with the recent passing of my grandmother, the recipe has been lost...as it sadly was never passed along.
My great grandparents immigrated to Minnesota, USA, from Poland and brought the recipe with them...so maybe someone out there know what this cheese is....and has a recipe.
According to my dad & aunt, the cheese was made from fresh milk....some sort of culture or acid was added to it....and they would let it sit at room temperature for a couple days or so...and then caraway seeds would be stirred into it.
It was yellow... in color.....and very runny...the process they describe is similar to make tvorog or quark....but no curd....it's got the consistency of melted process cheese like "cheese-whiz"....
Does anyone have an idea what the name of this cheese is, or how to make it? Or something similar?
Any ideas or direction would be appreciated....I want to give my dad & his sister a jar of this cheese for christmas.....
