Apple cheese

[Larissa]

The towels are now dry. Is it time to transfer?

Larissa, the cheese should bounce. It can dry for 10 to 30 days. The towels must be removed and the gauze removed. Cover it simply and turn it over every day. Or did he dry in gauze? Can not understand. If it is dry, then look at my first sentence.

Thank you. I realized that I had screwed up somewhere, but did not understand where. Interestingly, the second cheese gave more liquid under pressure. By the way, if anyone is interested. Yesterday I bought a confectionery in Ashan (Lefortovo City)
a metal funnel for 799 rubles and a metal press for mashed potatoes costs about 300, there is also a mash machine (very cheap, I bought one for big money. enamel) in polka dots, bought a ceramic pot-type pot and a small ceramic mold - everything is quite cheap. In general, there were so many interesting things that I left the store with great losses. Especially the funnel made me happy. Needed for spilling jelly and marmalade. It is everywhere ..))). I sit and admire. I'm going to check it out tonight. I am planning to make a marmalade with pectin. And the press - bought a second one for the dacha. In Soviet times, we had something similar, but more powerful. They made juice from pomegranates. I use it to squeeze berries in liqueurs, which I make in a fermenter or berries for fruit drinks. And for mashed potatoes.



Thank you so much. She began to remove the gauze, and the cheese fell apart. covered with a linen towel and laid on a flat surface. Springs around the edges. Blinded. In the second cheese, much more liquid was released, although it took longer to boil. Maybe the oppression was easier last time.



Oh, the first text was not displayed for me, I thought it was gone.

Angela, the next report on the cheese that I left without inspection, was drying out myself, there was no time to invent how to dry it, I took out a sectional mesh for washing, which I grabbed 2 pieces in the Surname about 5 years ago, and they were lying unattended, it was necessary of course to take a photo right away, but in a quick way I stuck one even in a bag, it was too lazy to pull it out, of course they lay exactly 4 mugs,
it turned out to be very convenient to dry like that.
I just need to do it in the same size, I think the little ones are a little dry, although they cut well, so while I put everything in a bag so that they can go a little, I'll put it in paper bags by evening.

Thank you so much for the recipe, very tasty

figure out how to dry it

the cheese dries very well in the refrigerator. In the closet, the lower part is constantly soaking, it itself stands damp for a long time, and in the refrigerator, even if I forget to turn it over, it winds up at a moment and there is no danger of it becoming moldy.
And to the collection of fillers - very tasty with ginger

Svetlana, masterpiece! well done.

[Angela]

Angela, thank you, I myself did not expect what would happen, and even from some unknown apples and in size and taste they are straight, and the result was very pleased, one sadness is very little

and in the refrigerator, even if I forget to turn it over, it weathers instantly and there is no danger that it will become moldy.

So this is still a place for him to be found there, you can't put on top of each other. And if it was cooked correctly, I think the mold does not threaten, and so, I had it very dense, when I was lying under the press, nothing came off, then I wiped off the Cointreau and that's it,

And to the collection of fillers - very tasty with ginger

Thank you, is the ginger fresh or powder?

fresh ginger or powder?

fresh - cooked a little in sugar syrup, syrup in tea, ginger in cheese)

For a month my cheeses have been drying on the grate on the windowsill. If I put them in an ordinary cardboard box on top of each other, laying them with paper for the printer, will they not deteriorate? You get 6 layers.

[Alla]

Allaif dry, then everything should be ok! Maybe sideways better?

[ang-kay]

ang-kay, Angela, you are a genius! Exactly, I'll go sideways to build

[Svetlana777]

Svetlana777,

bottom with citrus

Svetlana, please share how you added citrus? And how many?

how did you add citrus?

I added only the zest from 2 large oranges for about 900 mashed potatoes and boiled it together, there is a taste in the finished cheese. (you can probably take dry zest, and lemon and orange peel is sold, it will swell in mashed potatoes and still remove moisture, but these are just thoughts, and although I had it, I even started spinning and forgot about it. Next year, God forbid. apple harvest, I will do more with lemon zest

Goodnight! It seems to me that something is wrong with the cheese and chocolate. I cooked it in stages for several days. It seems that it needs to be boiled again. He lay under oppression for several days, but is very different from the first cheese. Judging by the consistency. Something very wet and loose. Can I do this?

[Larissa]

LarissaI think you can. As long as the chocolate doesn't burn. I just can't imagine how exactly to do this?

[Larisa Zakharova]

Larisa Zakharovaso I was talking about good cocoa powder. Some additives are put into chocolate so that it remains plastic for molding

Judging by the consistency. Something very wet and loose

On the contrary, my cheese with chocolate turned out to be very dry at once. I took two bars, one 95% cocoa, the other 85%.
But it seems to me that you won't be able to cook your cheese. I also have little idea how to do it technically.
Dry and that's it. Well, you may have to dry it for a couple of months, but the moisture will go away and the cheese will become dry and dense, where to go

Thank you. Yes, I have - a complete violation of technology. (Starting with mashed potatoes. Let's do this: I'll put it to dry, bought a couple of hard boards today (I will divide it into small cakes). I'll put it under oppression again. It won't help, in Isidri, it won't help - the oven But it can’t do anything at all - so we gobble up. The first one dries. I have three more pots with mashed potatoes at work.

[ang-kay]

ang-kay, Angela, the other day I climbed into the closet where things are put, as they say away. A piece of cheese fell on me, which lay for TWO years. I turned it around and saw no signs of death.
Maybe leave him for another year? One thing is bad, I now remember that it is hidden there.

[Larissa]

Will not help, in Isidri, will not help - the oven.

Larissa, let it dry like that. If you give forced drying, then I'm afraid that there will be hardening. It will be covered with a thick crust and the middle will be damp.

Maybe leave him for another year?

Sveta, I already wrote that I already have a fourth year, but in the refrigerator. I don't think the taste will be different after two or three years. Eat)

Oh, I'm ashamed to admit, but this is a very rare case when it did not work out. I lay under the load for three days. The load is about 7 kg. The cheese began to smell like cider. Tomorrow (I just need to drain the water) I'm going to the country house. And I’ll take pepin. And I will do it clearly according to the recipe to understand where the error is. I get marmalades, however, with NH pectin and other ingredients. It's just that Nastya really loves juice, and a lot of delicious mashed potatoes remain in the pressure cooker, I made marmalades from it .. Maybe this is the original reason that mashed potatoes were cooked incorrectly .. But I evaporate for a long time. Maybe the reason is that I put it in a cottage cheese dish. But now I tried to fix it, I did everything right. Thank you for your patience. I hope I can master the "non-bang cheese".

[Larissa]

Larissa, it will turn out. The main thing is not to rush. Everyone succeeded.

[Angela]

Angela, thanks for the recipe! Made 9 "cheeses". Added ginger, nuts, cocoa, coffee, cinnamon.I poured a bit of hot pepper into one of them. The largest and highest 24х4cm And it is the most mature and elastic. I think this is due to the addition of coffee, which worked as a sorbent, removing all excess moisture.
Larissa, I also made two cheeses in a mold for cottage cheese - it turned out great. One of them is 5.5 cm high, I was afraid that it would be too tall, it would not dry out, but everything turned out well.
One of the cheeses, I, apparently, was underappreciated, after the load it was still somehow soft. Without hesitation, I threw it into the microwave for several passes, then back into shape and under the load - everything is fine, stands, ripens

[Nataliya]

Nataliya, thanks for the information. I'm glad that everything works out and I like the result)

I only make cheese for the first year. Oddly enough, the first and the last turned out the best. The latter has just now been put on maturation. By the last, apparently already started to fill her hand. I understand the algorithm, what should be the mashed potatoes at the end. The first ones have already started trying. How delicious it is ...
But I have heads that do not dry in any way, for a long time already, but my humidity is near 70%, so everything dries for a long time.
Angela, thank you very much, I still want to swing your Turkish delight

[Irina]

Irina, to health)

Angela, thank you very much for your support. Imagine, he began to dry, "by leaps and bounds." Such funny three cakes! I just turn it over once a day. I am so glad! The recipe is super!

[Larissa]

Larissa, well, that's great)

Maybe someone needs information. In M-Video "Black Friday" until November 4.

Hurrah!!! The first one went to live in the refrigerator (though it cracked in half - I think because of its large size, but it doesn't matter. Nastya was given a tiny piece, she really liked it). Thank you all very much for your support. I made two more little ones with dry cherries and pine nuts (just overexposed on the stove). Gave Nastya, I had to beat off only the formed cheese from her. A very good combination. Now I will add the remnants of cherries and pine nuts to another saucepan, finish off with small candied pineapple fruits and either almonds or walnuts ... PS. It is difficult to describe my joy ... How little it takes for happiness: to succeed, what I spent a lot of time and effort on. Thanks again for your support and help, and about the recipe, it's amazing.

[Larissa]

Larissa, it will now be easier to do it a second time. I'm glad it worked out)

We cut and sampled the apple cheese with nuts and chocolate. The first of all cheeses. This is a delight !!! Thank you all very much for your advice. I can't stop Nastya. Asks and asks. It is unsweetened with an interesting, nothing like taste. Let it be better to feast on this than purchased sweets. Super. Now we need to work on the beauty, so that we would not be ashamed to post photos - "so that they are not worse than those of people." Thanks again.

[Larissa]

Larissa, not at all. It's great that I liked the cheese.

Angela, I am so grateful to you for your advice. The other day Nastya had a DR. I invited Nastya's friend and mother to a restaurant, and after that we went to visit them (our children cannot sit in restaurants for a long time). I took with me a bunch of all my handicrafts, including various apple cheeses to sample. My friend's husband liked them all so much that the rest practically did not get it, and next year I will make cheese for their family. It's just that my friend cannot spend so much time making cheese (harder son, work, family). And you were asked to convey their gratitude for the insanely delicious recipe and advice that you gave me.

[Larissa]

Larissa, it's so nice to read when people succeed in everything and are happy with the result. It's even nicer that they don't forget to thank)

[Angela]

Angela, with the advent of summer and heat, took out a circle of cheese from the box. The box was in the hallway, in the compartment, and I sealed it with tape so that moths would not get there.
The cheese will be in the summer for 2 years.
The cheese is very, very tasty. It has matured or something, the taste is much better than it was at the age of 6 months. Not dry, hard or soft. It is cut with thin plates, nothing sticks to the knife.I made so much of it 2 years ago, I was full and didn't want to cook it anymore. But now I decided that if there are apples this year, I will cook as much as I can.
One box went to St. Petersburg, there is mainly cheese with chocolate, they say that it is very tasty. We didn't have it with either chocolate or cocoa, so I can't say my impressions.
I am writing everything in detail, for those who made and did not store for so long and for those who will cook.
Angela, thank you very much for the recipe!
If I upload a photo from my phone, I'll show it.

[Marina]

Marina, thanks for the detailed report. I think that many will be useful and interesting)

Photo loaded.
Angela, look, the cheese slice is shiny, this is how it cuts smoothly. Super, I am very happy!

[Marina]

Great cheese! Marina, I have a piece of cheese for the fourth year. Nothing is done to him)

[Angela]

Angela, I thought that I have a two-year old-timer, and yours is even 2 times older. Wonderful apple processing!
