    1 qt Whipping cream-(not ultra pasteurized)
    1 tb White wine vinegar-=OR=- Lemon juice

    Recipe



    Makes About 1 Pound

    CHOOSE A STAINLESS STEEL BOWL that fits inside a large saucepan without
    touching the bottom of the pan. Add water to the pan and place the bowl in
    the pan so that the bowl touches the surface of the water but still sits
    firmly on the rim of the pan. Remove the bowl, place the pan on medium
    heat, and bring the water to a boil. Place the cream in the bowl and place
    over the boiling water. Adjust the heat under the pan to medium and heat
    the cream, checking the temperature often with an instant-read thermometer,
    to 190F; stir occasionally. Stir in the vinegar, continuing to stir gently
    until the cream begins to curdle. Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and
    allow the curds to firm up for 10 minutes. Line a strainer or colander with
    dampened cheesecloth, napkin, or coffee filters. Set the strainer or
    colander over a bowl and carefully spoon the curds into the strainer. Allow
    the mascarpone to cool to room temperature, cover the strainer tightly with
    plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 24 hours to allow the cheese to finish
    draining and become firm. Store in the refrigerator in a tightly covered
    container. Use the mascarpone within 3-or-4 days.
