Looking for Junkit for cheese making

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

I've searched high & low in our area for Junkit (Junket) brand rennet to make some cottage cheese. I realize that I could get similar products through the cheese supply catalogs, but I have a Junkit recipe that worked well for cottage cheese and it was easy to make. Anyone have any suggestions of where to look? Thanks

I have seen it at the super Wal-Mart in town. They have it down the aisle next to the pudding and tapioca along with unflavored Jell-o. If you can't find it where you live, email me, and I will mail some to you.

Thanks Lacey, I'll see if I can get to Walmart this weekend. If I can't find it, I might take you up on your offer.

I too had a hard time finding junket so i got liquid rennet from hoeggers. I don't have their addy off hand but should come up on a search. You can also try www.fias.com I have several other cheesemaking supply sites too if you need them. oh, you can get cheese making supplies, well, a lit of companies anyways by going to Goat Kingdom.

Try this web site...Hometownfavorites.com. They have many foods that were popular in the '50's and '60's. They might have Junket!

Hoegger's carries it, I think even Lehman's might have it. You could check their website and see.

I just remembered my parents bought some junket last week from Winn Dixie grocery to make ice cream. They said the boxes were dusty and obviously around awhile. Maybe a health food store would carry it too. I got to thinking about Hoegger's I think they might sell something that isn't junket, but works the same.

Hi, My super WalMart has it in the spice isle rather than with the puddings and stuff. Tana

I found it at Vons next to the pudding and gelatins.
