Yogurt



We got a yogurt maker last week, so far i've made 1 batch and ruined 1 batch. Latter today I will make another that I hope will work. It's not rocket science really, bring your milk to a near boil in a pot on the stove and then cool to 95 degree's Fahrenheit.

Next mix in some yogurt from a previous batch or use a starter pack of bacteria and then pour into individual jars and leave it in the yogurt maker for 8-10 hours, follow this with a few hours of refrigeration and you've got some great tangy yogurt.

If you're even thriftier than us you could probably use your Ronco style food dehydrator to heat the yogurt for the necessary 8-10 hours. I like the individual 6oz. jars ours came with, and it was only $30. Seeing as how we tend to run our dehydrators fairly constantly (although not so much lately) it's nice to have the separate yogurt maker unit. Other's i've read about online use ice chest or coolers filled with jugs of hot water, whatever works for you.
