Sage
and Spinach Cheese
Your
curd must be prepared in the same manner as for common
cheese, and squeeze as much of the juice out of sage and
spinach as will give it a fine greenish colour.
Put
it to the curd, with which it must be properly mixed, then put
it into the mould, and press it in a moderate manner.
It
will eat very agreeably at the expiration of about six months.
