This worked perfectly for me Mom2Rose! I am an old hand at making creme fraiche, quark and clotted cream, and this was a well written and clear account of how to make this delectable German product! I shall be using this to spread on my bread at breakfast time - this was put into my woodburning stove overnight...........perfect results - good creamy colour and texture! Made for ZWT 4. GREAT thanks! FT:-)

So happy to find this recipe. The flavor is just right. However, it came out a little dry, more like quark curd than the creamy quark I was hoping to use in a cheesecake recipe. Don't know if I did something wrong. Had to cook it at 170, as this is my oven's lowest temp. setting and drained for only about 2 hours.
