A quick break from smoking here. I made yogurt last night.
Ingredients
6oz active culture plain yogurt
1 gal milk
1 crock pot
1old blanket
Optional strainer and a paper towel or coffee filter or cheese cloth or (something else that water can flow through but not solids.
Simplicity thy name is yogurt. Take a clean crockpot and add 1 gal of milk. Heat on low for 2.5 hours then let rest for 3 hours. Mix your active culture yogurt with 2 cups of the warm milk. Add mixture to crockpot, cover and wrap in blanket or towel for 8 or so hours.
That's it you have yogurt. Our batch is a bit runny (perfect for smoothies) but we are planning to drain it (by putting a coffee filter in a strainer and putting the yogurt in it) to thicken it up to what we like. Total cost for 1 gallon of yogurt? 4 dollars. Now we can add in fresh or frozen fruit or even some of my homemade jam. It's yummy and fresh and all ours for the price of one pack of yogurt at the store.
