Michael: here are some recipes for homemade yogurt from the TKL archives. There are more if you search for "homemade yogurt" or "frozen yogurt" Hope these help! ______________________
YOGURT 8 c. water 3 1/4 c. powdered milk 1 tsp. plain gelatin in 2 tablespoons water 1/4 c. plain yogurt ( Make sure it contains a live culture.) Mix milk and water. Heat to 105 degrees. Remove half of milk, heat to almost boiling. Add softened gelatin. Stir well then add the rest of the milk. Stir in the plain yogurt. Cover with plastic wrap. Place in oven with the light on. Check in 6 hours. If it's very thick (almost like Jello) take out and store in refrigerator. Let stand 12 hours in refrigerator. Let stand 12 hours in refrigerator before adding concentrated orange juice or fresh fruit for serving. __________________________
YOGURT CREAM CHEESE
Make a strainer with 3 to 4 layers of cheese cloth over a wide mouth quart jar and rubber band. Put a pint of yogurt into the cheese cloth. Wrage the whole thing in a plastic bag and let it drain for 24 hours in the refrigerator. You can use this the same as any cream cheese-not fat. Makes about 8 ounces. ___________________________
YOGURT 1 1/4 c. instant dry milk powder 1 1/4 c. non-instant dry milk 7 c. warm water 4 whole grain saccharin, dissolved in sm. amount of the warm water 1 tbsp. vanilla 1/3 c. yogurt live culture (Yogurt has a slightly better flavor if some non-instant dry milk is used. This can usually be purchased at a health food store. If not available, use total of 3 cups instant dry milk powder. Yogurt culture is simply plain commercial yogurt which you buy to eat.) Mix all ingredients together thoroughly and pour into 2 quart jars. Place in oven and keep temperature between 110 to 120 degrees until yogurt is set, 2 to 3 hours. Do not disturb during this time. Chill immediately when set so mixture does not become too sour or separate. Crushed fruit may be strained into the yogurt mixture before it sets, but most people like to add the fruit at serving time. Be sure to save 1/3 cup to use for culture for your next batch. In several months you may need to purchase a new culture if yogurt begins to get more strong and acidic. (*To keep oven at correct temperature of 110 to 120 degrees, you can turn it on and off for a short time occasionally. If the oven is small, the turned on oven light provides a good amount of heat. Some people simply leave the mixture on the countertop overnight, but depending on the weather it could set before morning and would not be refrigerated at the proper time. It usually takes about 6 hours at room temperature. Check each half hour after 2 hours to see if mixture is set.) Yield 2 quarts.
