Homemade Yogurt

[v-girl]

I get plain yogurt and add fresh fruit, jelly or honey to it.

I've added honey and a tiny dash of vanilla extract. I bet a spoonful of raspberry jam would be delicious.

I mixed blueberry syrup into plain yogurt and it was just as sweet and blueberryish as commercial flavored stuff.

For the kids' breakfast I defrost frozen blueberries, top with honey, then mix that into plain yogurt "until it's purple".

I'm usually fine with just honey or maple syrup in mine, with a side of fresh fruit.

Agave nectar is great as a sweetener in plain yogurt, too.

So, I have a batch in the oven. With my soap making, I discovered that the lightbulb keeps it fairly warm without being hot. I so want to peek at it.

Yay! You make me want to make some too but the only milk in the house is UHT pasteurized. Boo.

I used plain old skim. If it is too thin in the morning, I will strain it in cheese cloth for a bit so it is more like greek yogurt.

We always use skim milk, too. I just let it cook longer.

[HouseofWool]

It cooked roughly 12 hours. I am straining it right now, I was surprised how much liquid I was able to drain off.

I am looking forward to a breakfast of fresh yogurt and homemade granola.

Any thoughts on soy yogurt? I'm going to give it a go when we get settled. Likely have to use soy yogurt as a starter- or see if I can find a non-dairy starter. Fun times.

I wish you people had made clear how making yogurt is a bit like crack. I may be the only person ever to gain weight from eating yogurt...
