MOUNTAINS OF YOGURT
As a fan of yogurt, I have chosen fruity yogurt as my fermentation project
Hope my crockpot is forgiving!
Steps to Success:
Half-gallon of whole milk--pasteurized and homogenized,
--1/2 cup store-bought natural, live/active culture plain yogurt
--frozen/fresh fruit for flavoring
--thick bath towel
--slow cooker
Directions
Plug in crockpot and turn to low. Add a half gallon of milk. Cover and cook on low for 2 1/2 hours.
Unplug crockpot. Leave the cover on, and let it sit for 3 hours.
When 3 hours have passed, scoop out 2 cups of the warmish milk and put in a bowl. Whisk in 1/2 cup of store-bought live/active culture yogurt. Then dump contents back into the crockpot. Stir to combine.
Put the lid back on your crockpot. Keep it unplugged, and wrap a heavy bath towel all the way around the crock for insulation.
Go to bed, or let it sit for 8 hours.
In the morning, the yogurt will have thickened---it's not as thick as store-bought yogurt, but has the consistency of low-fat plain yogurt.
Blend in batches with your favorite fruit.
Chill in a plastic container(s) in the refrigerator. Your fresh yogurt will last 7-10 days.
