Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 8 c. milk
up to 1/2 c. powdered milk (none is required, but it makes the yogurt richer)
1/4 to 1/2 c. sweetener (honey or sugar)
1 to 2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. yogurt starter (use yogurt from a previous batch, plain store-bought yogurt or you can buy yogurt starter at a grocery or health food store and follow directions on the box)

Directions: |
Directions:1. Mix all ingredients except yogurt starter in a medium-sized pot and heat to 180-190º .
2. Cool to 110º, add a small amount of cooked milk mixture to yogurt starter. Mix and add back to warm milk.
3. Pour mixture into clean containers of your choice. Empty peanut butter jars or quart jars work well.
4. Place filled containers in a cooler with an equal number of containers filled with hot tap water. This keeps the incubating yogurt at the right temperature.
5. Check your yogurt after 8 hours or so. If it is firm enough for your taste, chill & enjoy. If you prefer a firmer set, replace the hot water and incubate another 4 to 8 hours. |

Notes: Yogurt can be made in an electric yogurt maker or in a home-made incubator using an ice chest (without the ice!) if carefully checked and refrigerated promptly as directed.
Dried fruit, jam or honey can be added to sweeten. This recipe is good with the Great Granola.
