Finally!

I've been thinking about trying this for a while, and started experimenting last weekend. One batch was like cream cheese, another 2 were curdy cream cheese, but batch #4 looks like the real stuff:

I got to use organic milk, get to choose how much salt to add, and no preservatives and stabalizers (which means I've got to eat it up!

)

It's not hard at all, just takes a lot of time, mostly waiting and a bit of stirring.

This is the recipe that I found most insightful, but I think tips from the second one helped too.
I used the short set method on this batch since it's faster and it said it results in less acid curds:

This one was helpful too, but some of the descriptions left me guessing:
