* added till smooth and of spreading consistency. If you cannot obtain
really dry cottage cheese (I can’t here anymore); I have used Ricotta
(only the best grade). Omit the sour cream as the ricotta is not as
dry as the Farmer’s Cheese; dry cheese is preferable. ALMOND: Mix
together for ALMOND FILLING. PECAN FILLING: Mix together for Pecan
filling. WALNUT FILLING: Mix all together, cool and spread or fill.
