Directions
Homemade Yogurt,this is a healthy and delicious addition to anybody’s diet. you can add spices, sugar, fruit, veggies, anything you want. i also use it in recipes, adding it at the end. many indigenous cultures use fresh yogurt, and for good reason.,This is only my second attempt at making yogurt and I was not pleased with this one. I followed the directions exactly and used my crockpot to “cook” the yogurt. It thickened up nicely, but the taste was way too tart. After it set up in the fridge I added a tsp of vanilla and two tsp of sugar to take away some of the tartness. It helped only slightly. I will use what I have made since milk is not cheap, but I will continue looking for the right yogurt recipe for me.,I made this using just short of 1 cup of dry milk powder, probably 3/4 cup. And I tried my new yogourmet freeze-dried culture as a starter instead of using yogurt from the store — but now I can just keep this culture going with the next batch. It set up overnight in the oven, came out nice and thick at just warmer than room temperature. When it gets firmer in the fridge, it ought to be nice and thick, which is what I like. Fantastic idea using the dry milk powder, Bonnie! Thanks!

Note: the Ideal Incubation Temperature Is 115 Degrees F, Plus or Minus 10. Instead of a Warm Oven, You Can Use a Sunny Outdoor Spot During Summertime. in Winter, You Can Set the Container by a Radiator or Wood Stove. Recently I Have Found the Crockpot Is a Reliable Heat Source. Simply Place Water in Your Crockpot, Filling the Pot About Halfway. Then Place the Covered Yogurt Container Inside the Crockpot, Making Sure the Water Does not Enter the Yogurt. You Can Then Use a Thermometer to Monitor the Water Temperature, and Adjust Your Crockpot During the Incubation Period to Maintain Ideal Temperature. |
