Preparation

Step 1

Line a sieve with a coffee filter or double thickness of cheesecloth. Suspend the sieve over a deep bowl. Spoon the yogurt into the filter, cover with plastic wrap, place in the refrigerator and let stand to allow the whey to drip out. When the yogurt has the consistency of soft, velvety, spreadable cheese, about 6 hours, scrape into a bowl.

Add herbs, vinegar, pepper to taste and allspice to the yogurt cheese. Stir. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 24 hours.

Serve with sliced pears and a dollop of honey.
