With the festive season approaching, get ready to give your loved ones a delicious homemade treat by making your own butter and cheese. These deliciously fresh treats take very little time and effort to prepare and will be a great addition to traditional Thanksgiving meals or your festive, family Christmas dinner. Making fresh cheese at home gives you enjoyable results every time and you can make it a part of your holiday tradition. Homemade cheese is great for Thanksgiving sides like macaroni and cheese and Christmas cheese balls. All you need to create all natural, organic cheese at home is some fresh organic milk and a basic cheese-making kit. Homemade cheese tastes better and is healthier for you than most of the commercially available cheeses. With different kits, you can make fresh mozzarella, ricotta or goat cheese to add a delicious element to your Thanksgiving meals. You can also make your favorite mash with freshly prepared soft cheese and herbs to give an interesting twist to the traditional Thanksgiving mash. Serve a fresh salad with combining some freshly prepared goat cheese with salad greens, seasonal nuts and some roasted bacon as a prelude to the family Christmas dinner. You can also add your own flavorings to the cheese and serve it with fresh seasonal fruits and crackers as a welcoming dish for guests visiting during the festive season. The creamy flavor of freshly-prepared cheese is great for basting the Thanksgiving turkey. Unsalted butter makes your homemade Christmas cakes and cookies even more special. Flavor butter with some sea salt to enjoy with toast or dried herbs to serve along with Thanksgiving meals. To make fresh butter at home, all you need is heavy cream. Whip cream until it turns stiff and finally separates into butter and thin buttermilk. The result will be soft butter that you can mold into desired shapes or simply store in a dish to be used later. Add salt any time during the process or use the unsalted butter for baking the perfect plum cake for the family Christmas dinner. Include your children in these homemade preparations so that they learn and enjoy the process of cheese and butter making.
