Yogurt finale
Posted by blueraindrop on May 25, 2009
The 4th try was finally a success!
I finally have random mason jars of homemade yogurt on my fridge shelves.
Not actually entirely sure what the difference is… but this time I cooled it lower on accident, about 10 degrees lower than the range it was supposed to be… so of all of the attempts, I was the least optimistic on this one.
And I was only really attempting it again in the first place because I had another half gallon of whole milk hanging out in the fridge left over from the previous attempt.
But it finally turned out. YAY!
It’s not entirely the same texture as the store kind.. or the greek kind. More firm until you stir it… but then it turns a bit more runny, and yet, also a bit more stringy and clingy.
Not bad… just a noticeable difference.
But I’m quickly realizing exactly how much half a gallon of yogurt really is. Especially when it doesn’t have the preservatives to last a long time.
May have to make some of the yogurt jars to get kiddo to eat a few rounds of it.
Not sure if will make it again. Jury is still out a bit… is it worth the effort to make it to do just a half batch? will it take 4 tries to get it right again?
But at least I know I can. LOL
