    LiisaN's Note:

    Finnish Squeaky Cheese - when eaten warmed, it squeaks. A favorite in the northern UP/Mich area - and among the Finns. My dad often, would take a cube and drop it in his coffee to heat the cheese. It's very mild.

      This is delicious and tastes just like my grandpa used to make. I usually buy this in the store, because I thought it would be hard to make, but it was SO EASY. I looked last week and they were selling Juusota for $10.49/lb!!!! I definitely saved money making it myself. I used a cloth baby diaper to strain the curd from the whey, I tried cheese cloth, but the curd kept getting stuck. I could only find rennet in tablet form, so I used 1½ tablets. The recipe didn't state which type of milk, so I used whole milk and also added a can of evaporated milk.
