Homemade Yogurt

Equipment:

7 quarts oval crock–pot, tap water, 8 cup heat proof glass container, instant read thermometer or candy thermometer.

Ingredients:

  • ​1/2 gallon of 2% milk
  • ​2 tablespoons plain yogurt with active cultures

Directions:

  • 1
    ​Heat milk to 185˚degrees.  Cool to 110˚ degrees.  Add starter yogurt.  Stir well.  Cook at 110˚degrees for 7–10 hours.
  • 2
    ​fill a 7–quart crock–pot about half full of warm water.  Put the yogurt in the 8–cup glass–measuring cup.  Cover with saran & put in water in crock–pot.  The temperature in the crock–pot needs to be monitored because it gets hot quickly.

Note:

If you have an older gas stove, uyou can use the oven as long as it can be set to keep the 110˚ temperature.  If the stove is old enough the gas oven pilot light will maintain the oven temperature at 110˚ without turning on the oven.

​Cultures:

​Any yogurt that says it contains live, active cultures can be used for the starter.  Do not use flavored yogurt.
