    Rennet tablets are found in some grocery supermarkets and also in some Swedish or specialty grocery stores. Look in the baking, canning or jello aisle in the store. They are used to help the milk thicken properly so it will cook into the Swedish type of cheesecake after being mixed with the flour, sugar and eggs. "My" other ostkaka recipe uses cottage cheese and does not need rennet since the rennet will work similarly to thicken ingredients as they cook. This type of dessert is not much like traditional or New York cheesecakes which are comparatively very rich since they are made with creamcheese. Our mothers' ostkaka recipes were more complicated since they would strain the excess whey off of the milk/rennet mixture after awhile, being almost like an all day process. Today I don't have as much time to cook as my mother did.

    While it sounds interesting and Lindsborg: KS is known as 'Little Sweden' I am completely unfamiliar with rennet tablets. What are they and where do you find them?
