Cook?s Note

This can be made using a yogurt maker but would be an overnight procedure. This is a quicker way that yields pretty much the same product.Do not use low-fat buttermilk. It will not work well.Add some freshly cut chives, a couple cloves of minced garlic, onions, salt, and pepper for taste and you have a basic krauter (herbal) quark, great to spread on your favorite bread or roll.For cheesecake, let it drain a little longer.
