Yogurty Goodness


I have previously posted a recipe and method for making homemade yogurt. While the method is fantastic the recipe was somewhat less reliable. Sometimes I would have a great batch of yogurt and other times not so much. This recipe is great and every time I get a perfect batch of yogurt. If you have never tried making your own yogurt, give it a try. Use this recipe with the method I've posted previously. Once you do you will never go back to store bought yogurt again.

Recipe:
Adapted from Alton Browm
Ingredients

  • 1 quart 2-percent milk
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1 to 2 tablepoons honey
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt, room temperature

Directions

Pour milk into small saucepan and whisk in gelatin and honey. Place over medium heat and bring to 120 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Once milk has reached 120 degrees F, pour into a mason jar (you might have to pour a little into a smaller jar also), reserving 1/2 cup. Whisk in the reserved 1/2 cup into the yogurt and add back to the milk mixture.
Follow my previous directions for fermentation. method
After fermentation is complete place into the refrigerator overnight.
