I make both the potato/cheese and the farmers cheese twice a year. At easter and at Christmas. My friends come out of the woodwork to "help". How nice that we can all pass on a wonderful tradition to our friends and family.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14453677692061436081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046185673819980880.post-6652139002892992212011-01-04T10:43:09.800-05:002011-01-04T10:43:09.800-05:00You can buy the Farmer's Cheese at a European ...You can buy the Farmer's Cheese at a European grocery store like A&A on Independence or Zygma (Polish) on Polk St. in Pineville.<br /><br />My parents emigrated from Poland and I grew up speaking the language and with all the traditional food and make it for my children for holidays and special occasions. Pierogi are their favorite. My mom's recipe sounds very similar to the one described - in fact she says the same thing about knowing how much of each ingredient is enough, it's really all by taste and experience. Never tried the Cheez Whiz shortcut because I think Farmer's Cheese is the only thing that gives an authentic taste - but I'll try it sometime!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07984999766758242085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046185673819980880.post-91496385472510025682011-01-04T10:13:15.339-05:002011-01-04T10:13:15.339-05:00Although all pierogies are great, my favorites are...Although all pierogies are great, my favorites are filled with sauerkraut or soft farmer's cheese (similar to ricotta or cottage cheese). If I knew where to get the soft farmer's cheese, I might actually attempt making them for next year. Anyone know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
