Recipe of the Day: Homemade Yogurt



We are still working on a recipe though not to bad for first round on this one....

Homemade Yogurt
1/2 gallon whole milk (can use lowfat or skim milk)

1/2 cup yogurt starter (off shelf plain yogurt live culture)

Directions

  1. Bring milk to just a boil and then set aside to cool.
  2. Cool just enough not to bite the finger to touch, (about 120°F).
  3. Pour warm milk in a glass or pyrex bowl and add the Mahdzoon starter (or store bought"live culture" plain yogurt). (I used yogurt machines just set according to manual)
  4. Mix well by stirring the starter in, and cover.
  5. Completely cover the bowl with towels top and bottom to maintain an even temperature. 
  6. Keep covered at room temperature until mahdzoon has set, about 3-4 hours. or  (I used yogurt machines just set according to manual)
  7. Refrigerate for 8 hours before serving.
  8. To store, keep in refrigerator.
  9. If you like, you can add a spoonful or two of fruit preserves/jam and a bit of vanilla before serving ( I used about 3 T of jello powder to ours) 

Love seeing my fridge full of goodies yogurt is in the big white container and then little white containers. :)
