Paska Cheese-
6 eggs
2 cups milk
Pinch of salt
Whisk all together well and cook over med heat, stirring constantly till it resembles scrambled eggs in water.
Pour out mixture into a cheese cloth laying in another pot.
Pull ends together and twist to for a ball and squeeze with tongs because it is very hot.
Clip to hold it tight and hang for a few hours to drip.
Then take it down, wrap it up and refrigerate till your ready to go to Divine Liturgy and put it in your basket to get blessed along with your other Paska food.
The Easter Cheese is the dairy product in the basket that reminds us of the "prosperity and peace" of the Messianic times which had been foretold by the Prophets often referenced by "the land of milk and honey," referring to the spiritual wealth of Gods kingdom.
