AMISH CUP CHEESE, Schmeirkase and all about clabbered milk!!

I'm struck again by how many skills for feeding ourselves many of us have lost 😔 Thank you so much for sharing this!

Could you please make a cookbook? I will never remember all of your wonderful recipes. Then is something happens to destroy our power grid we will need these to feed our families well. The internet will be gone but your written recipes will help keep us safe. Thank you Pat

I did it!!!!!! I really did it! lol Thank you sooooo much. I added taco seasoning because that's what I had and I'd say it came out like nacho cheese. I've been looking for a way to replace Velveeta for several recipes I have because it's so horrible.... yet nothing melts like it.... except Schmeirkase!!! Now I know I'm feeding my family something so absolutely healthy and they all loved it!

If anyone is tabulating the votes in favor of a Ruthanne cookbook - I def vote yes!! Thanks for all you do Zimmerman family ❤

This brings back so many memories.I had 2 milk cows when i was in my twenty's.I made cottage cheese regularly. How how i miss the children being little and all the baking i use to do.😢Thank you for your video's, ii cant wait to watch them,you have the most beautiful smile that ive ever seen. Im 73 now,children are all gone,i still try raise garden.Thanks for walk down memory lane. 😊

From the days when even nursery rhymes were about out "curds and whey" to the days when we're taught having raw milk will kill us. I'm glad you're doing videos to keep the knowledge out there. In my early years of marriage, my MIL taught me to make cottage cheese. I used to sell it at farmer's markets and cream as well. Wow, it was crazy. I married into a Ukrainian family. Wowsers, when the news went out to the older ladies that I was making cottage cheese and selling cream, the farmer's market in town was so busy with the line ups to get my stuff. The organizers asked me to move to the back of the hall so the line ups would shop the other vendors :) Then the health rules got horrible and I had to quit. Now I'm a grandma...and goodness, I miss those days. Mozza is on the way this winter for sure...cheese strings will be gobbled up by my mid thirties son.

Wow! This science lesson was amazing! Better than school was and very practical! Looks yummy

Wow what a cook and overall homemaker she is truly amazing!!! Also I want to mention her warm,caring positive energy,I love the way she teaches the children to be hard workers not being useless and lazy like so many of the youth today. It’s good to see the boys helping mom in the kitchen cutting veggies and learning how to work a knife,that’s awesome. Great job

First I want to start off by saying thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I find it so incomprehensible that in less than 100 years we have lost so much valuable information and skills from our previous generations for self reliance and community. I am so thankful for stumbling across your channel. God is good and so are you 🌞 Now I wish I had a cow 🙂

Thank you for posting this! I grew up in Lancaster pa and was a Yoder. I did not personally grow up Amish, my parents were beachy Amish and Mennonite growing up, but left when they were teens/early twenties and I still have Mennonite family members. Anyway, my parents have both passed, mom in 2017 and dad just last Dec. My mom never made this, but always enjoyed eating it. Remembering this kind of cheese spread makes me feel like I'm getting a hug from her. Thanks for your channel and all you share from the wonderful heritage of the Amish. God bless!

Oh my goodness!! I've been looking for these teachings for so long. I was born in Wisconsin, but was transplanted in southmost Texas. The love of milk cows came with me.

You are my HERO!!! I have been searching for replacements for velveeta. I use clabbered milk for cottage cheese but I have never heard of Schmeirkase. Thank you a million times. I so wish we were neighbors I would totally run over a loaf of sourdough and jar of jam!

My Dad used to always talk about his Mom clamoring milk and I couldn’t figure out what the process was. He used to love to eat the fresh cottage cheese. Now I know exactly what he was talking about. Thanks a bunch for sharing. I wish I had some raw milk to try this out. You know so much. I am in awe.

My great-grandparents had a farm in northern Louisiana, and they kept clabber in the fridge. I have no idea what all my great-grandmother did with it because I didn't get to spend time with her very often, but the level moved up and down in the gallon jars constantly. I miss her. She could make something out of anything, and it was always delicious. ❤

I think this is also called Butter Cheese. I have bought it from one of the Amish grocery stores in Missouri and we love it. It makes mac and cheese so much better than velveeta. Now that I have seen how it is made I will have to go on a road trip for some raw milk, right down the road from the grocery store. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and canning skills.

I use clabbered milk in my baking all the time, but I have never even seen a recipe like this before! I'm so excited to try this!!

I love your home dairy videos! Please continue sharing things like this 😅

Amazing! I can’t tell you how much I admire and envy you your wealth of knowledge from your family history.

I love your descriptions of all the various steps and the whys. It shows that you have had to answer quite a few "But Why?" questions and are a seasoned professional. Thank you, for all you do!

I love the idea of a cookbook mentioned below. You already have your receipts written out. Compile them into book form and sell it. You could make money for your family. I so enjoy watching you and your videos. Thanks
