Blogless Sara reported that her sister had great success with making crockpot yogurt, then Norma posted about it, and the Crockpot Brigade marched. I can only imagine that Norma's post has struck fear in the hearts of everyone at Stonyfield! Boy oh boy, did I ever want to join the Brigade, but alas, no crockpot (silly me, thinking they were only useful to meat eaters! I know better now!). A trip to Target remedied that problem, and on Saturday, I set to making yogurt.
Could it be easier? No. I used organic 1% milk and plain Stonyfield non-fat yogurt. This batch is a bit thin, despite adding powdered milk. Next time, I'll strain it to get a texture closer to Greek yogurt. The only trick is to get your timing right. I started mine late in the morning, which meant that I had to stay up until midnight to get the finished yogurt into the fridge. Next time, I'll start it at about 4:30 p.m., and it will be ready for the fridge when I get up in the morning.
Oh. You want the recipe? Sure thing.
Pardon? Oh, a picture? Of course I took one, with a dollop of summer (also known as strawberry freezer jam).
