Making yogurt

I LOVE homemade yogurt. That's all we eat any more.It's really quite simple and well worth it. We do use a yogurt maker, which is really just a heating unit. It does keep the yogurt at a constant temperature and keeps it from being moved or bumped,both are important for successful yogurt.

You can get yogurt makers pretty easily used on Craig's List, Freecycle or at yard sales.
I found this link which gives a good explanation for making yogurt.

I high recommend using whole milk for various reasons, mostly it tastes best that way.
And I prefer using some yogurt as starter rather than the powdered cultures.

We eat yogurt for breakfast with a spoonful of homemade jam, for lunch with fresh fruit in season, for dessert with honey, or a late night snack with granola . Yum !!
