German Recipe ∞ Quark (Homemade Cheese)

I discovered Quark at a farmers market and instantly fell in love, but it's been difficult to find in stores. This recipe is a fine replacement for more expensive creme fraiche and pairs well with fresh fruit for dessert.

1. Bring milk to a simmer in a saucepan; remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
2. Whisk buttermilk into milk; let sit at room temperature, 8 hours to overnight. Strain mixture through cheesecloth over a bowl in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
