make your own yogurt
 

hmmm doesn't look like this particular board gets much use...

but i just made my own yogurt using a recipe i posted on my recipe blog here - www.creativelywic.blogspot.com - its a really cool trick if you ask me :)

also if anyone has any good WIC recipes i'd love to try them and post them if you'd send them to me!

Do you think this would work with coconut milk yogurt?

i....have no idea. hah. i dont get the science behind it. i didn't think it would work but lo and behold when i checked back 8 hours later, i had yogurt!

Re: make your own yogurt
 

Oh yes, I make a batch of crockpot yogurt about once a week. I got the recipe from Passionate Homemaking.

I really, really want to try with coconut.

Holy smoke, that sounds like a science fair project! :)

Re: make your own yogurt
 

What a great idea! I make mine in my oven but I like this idea as well and may have to try it sometime, especially since I could make a larger batch at once.

I like your blog...what a fantastic idea.

I got his off of the crockpot365 and it's been great. http:// crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/10/you-can-make-yogurt-in-your-crockpot.html

If you read through the comments, I think they talk about some of the quirks. I know that my kitchen can't get cold during the process or the yogurt is too runny.

I actually have a yogurt maker and I love it--I keep reminding myself that I need to make yogurt :doh It's very very simple. I use yogurt starter and soy milk and the actual "making" takes about 5 minutes most and then they cook for 8 hours without me :grin

Re: make your own yogurt
 

Wow how cool, I had no idea such a thing existed. Have you ever tried the coconut milk kind? My kids love those (don't really care for the soy ones) but they cost like $2 a container so they only get them once in a blue moon.

Re: make your own yogurt
 

I will try your recipe, I have yogurt machines I found at yard sales but it doesnt make nearly enough for my brood :) Nice idea for a blog!

Re: make your own yogurt
 

I make it every other week using the crocpot365 way love it:heart

Re: make your own yogurt
 

My Mom's been making her own yogurt for a couple of years. I finally tried it last week and we have been enjoying it. Here recipe and method is a little more complicated. I think I will try yours, Thanks.

I have a yoghurt make that I re-discovered yesterday and we just made a batch of Boysenberry youghurt...Yummy!! Will have to do it more often

Thanks for the link to your blog Jess....the recipe looks great :smile

I also make yogurt in the crockpot from the crockpot365 blog. I used some of the comments to tweak it, like adding only two tablespoons of yogurt. It is so super simple. I strain it through a cheese bag and it is thick like greek yogurt and yummy!
