I had a choice between using a yogurt culture or plain store-bought yogurt. I have to start with a bacterial culture to get the process going. I made my yogurt with 1 cup organic store-bought yogurt as a starter. I made sure the store-bought yogurt had live culture in it. I heated up a quart of whole milk to 180\u00baF to sterilize it and placed the pot of milk in a sink halfway filled with cold water to cool it down to 80\u00baF. Using a whisk, I mixed the milk slowly into the cup of yogurt. I have a Euro Cuisine yogurt maker with jars. It&#8217;s really just a covered hot plate with jars, but it keeps the milk and starter at the correct temp to get the cultures moving and growing. I poured the mixture into the jars. Twelve hours later (the longer the time, the more sour) &#8230;\u00a0yogurt!<\/p>\n<p>It turned out a little thin. Nice and sour and just a bit sweet. Great for granola! I will drain some of my yogurt to make Greek-style yogurt. Using a fine mesh sieve and butter muslin, the yogurt can be drained of most of the liquid to make a much thicker yogurt. All in all, very happy with the result. It&#8217;s great with honey and peaches too!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome New Sisters!
