Okay, I just posted this earlier today and realized I have a few “homemade dairy products” ideas I’d like to try and share with you. So, I’ve decided to host my first series, “Making Your Own Dairy Products”. There will be a new post every Saturday! I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. Now, to my original post for today!
In our house, we probably go through at least 2 quarts of yogurt each week. I like to purchase whole milk, non-homogenized yogurt when possible. The challenge is that few groceries stock this type and they are not located locally! Also, all those yogurt container are not recyclable in our area and I can only store so many for leftovers. Solution…make my own and it super easy! Do you own a crock pot, some canning jars (or some similar jars), a measuring cup, and a wisk? Then you have all the tools you need to make yogurt! Here’s how I do it!

Thanks For the invite to your wonderful blog. I will have to share your yogurt recipe with my mom she loves this kind of thing.

I have always been afraid to make my own, when we were kids my mom made it and we were sick for weeks in the hospital. I still would like to try because I love it. It looks yummy. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, I have never thought about making my own yogurt! What a wonderful idea! I am now your newest follower, I followed through blogspot, where you just click follow at the top. What is the difference in that and Google Friend Connect? Please explain! I’m lost apparently! : )

I make my own yoghurt too Marilyn but I’ve got a yoghurt making vessel to do it in. I’ve got a recipe on my blog for making it yourself with the yoghurt making powder plus milk powder to reduce costs. It makes a nice yoghurt. You could do it in the slow cooker as well I think. It does taste good, doesn’t it?

So I am going to ask what could be an obvious question… The yougert sits out overnight with the towels as an insulator? It is not refrigerated during that time?

You do not refrigerate the yogurt until it has sat overnight, insulated by the towels. It is kind of like sourdough starter. The yogurt needs to be at a warm enough temperature for the cultures to grow.

I made my own yogurt for about 4 months and loved it. Then, I had about 3 batches that were no thicker than milk and didn’t taste quite right. I finally quit making it. Our kitchen temperature was different near the end since the seasons had changed. I wonder if that affected it. Any ideas? Gail

I believe your yogurt cooled off too quickly and so the culter wasn’t able to grow enough for your yogurt to thicken.

Have you ever heard of a “Wonder Box”? If not, then Google it and find out. It’s great for homemade yogurt. You start with the stove and then let it sit for 8-12 hours. I can start a batch at night and have it done in the morning. The best part is that I don’t have to leave an appliance on while it’s doing it’s thing. We love homemade yogurt over here.

Wow – I didn’t know it was so easy. I want to try it sometime. I’m eating more and more yogurt for breakfast, so it would be fun to make my own. Thanks for sharing.
