Princess Amelia's Cream Cheese Recipe
Wash the soap out of a napkin; double it to the required size, and put
it wet into a pewter soup-plate. Put into it a pint of cream; cover it,
and let it stand twenty-four hours unless the weather is very hot, in
which case not so long. Turn the cheese in the napkin: sprinkle a little
salt over it, and let it stand twelve hours. Then turn it into a very
dry napkin out of which all soap has been washed, and salt the other
side. It will be fit to eat in a day or two according to the weather.
Some keep it in nut leaves to ripen it.
