Making Yogurt… NOT!
We are back in milk!! Woo Hoo! The very first thing we have been doing (besides drinking our fresh milk) is saving some of the cream off to make butter. The Second thing we have been doing is planning to make yogurt. Last year we attempted the whole heating pad and cooler experiment to making yogurt and we were just not that impressed. If it is going to be effective, time wise and management wise, it has to be half way easy to implement and do regularly. So I bought us a yogurt maker! We are all excited and ready to make yogurt and go to pull our powdered milk (to add consistency and firmness to the yogurt)… and here is what I discovered:
And for those that are as blind as I am, that reads best before Feb 2010!
So, live and learn… and plan better! LOL!

I have read about using the crock pot to make yogurt, haven’t tried it though and I just ate the last of my organic yogurt.
I’m going to have to look that up! I returned my other yogurt maker and bought one that is not electric. I haven’t tried it yet… but probably will Sunday. If you find a crock pot recipe… let me know 🙂 Welcome to L&LFarm Blog!!
Add gelatin to your milk to thicken your raw yogurt. Works in goats milk too. Also #1 when making your own is to NOT MOVE IT. 🙂 Which was a problem when you’ve little counter space. 🙂 When we were vegan I would add chia to ours to help thicken it up too.

I tried to use the Carnation Milk … but it did not work! Do you have a yogurt maker? If so, which one and do you like it? I have some Chia seeds, we used them last time and loved them.
