Following the directions found HERE I made my own yogurt last night. It was surprisingly easy. Put the milk in my 6qt crock pot, turned it on low and walked away for 2 1/2 hours. Off for 3 hours and then mixed 1/2 cup of store bought yogurt in. 10:45 at night by this time so I covered the pot with towels to keep it insulated and went to bed! Got up in the morning and it was nice and thick on my kitchen counter . . . tasted it, but lukewarm yogurt isn't my favorite so I stuck it in the fridge and we'll have some as a snack today! I am planning on making "Go-gurts" with some of it and will definitely do this again!
Oh . . . have I mentioned that we've been making our own kefir? It is surprisingly easy to care for and every two days or so we have yummy kefir to drink, mix into smoothies, etc!
