Yogurt

Sorry this took so long in coming, but here's the recipe for yogurt in a cooler.

Ingredients: 1 quart (unpasteurized) milk

      1/4 cup fresh yogurt OR 1 package of freeze-dried yogurt culture

1 - heat milk to 180 degrees F

2 - cool milk 10 110 - 115 degrees F

3 - add culture/fresh yogurt and stir gently

4 - put yogurt into a container (such as a bowl) and then surround it with other containers of boiling water in a cooler

5 - let milk sit for 10 - 12 hours, changing hot water periodically (1 - 2 times) to keep the cooler around 120 degrees F

6 - add sugar, jam, vanilla, etc. as you want . . . add unflavored gelatin if you want a thicker yogurt (1 package OR 1 Tbsp)

** save 1/4 cup plain yogurt to make your next batch 

**experiment with the amount of fresh yogurt used as the culture to get desired consistency

Enjoy making yogurt!!
