If I want firmer yogurt I will strain it through cheesecloth or coffee filters. The whey can then be used for other things like putting in your bread rather than plain water. I just looked online for the recipe. I typically use plain yogurt from the store for starter. Thanks for sharing your life with us. <br />MollyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976144812755907729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-51280418044698300762014-01-14T19:21:21.794-06:002014-01-14T19:21:21.794-06:00We tried adding fruit a number of years ago, but f...We tried adding fruit a number of years ago, but find the texture of added chunks of stuff is not to our liking.

We have cut back on a lot of sugar, but we haven't cut it out either.<br /><br />I made another batch of yogurt the other day and forgot to add the powdered milk. It tastes good, but we are drinking it instead of having to use a spoon. I guess it saves on washing silverware......<br /><br />Fern<br />Frank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-56972714144081143722014-01-11T00:57:42.408-06:002014-01-11T00:57:42.408-06:00Have you tried adding peaches or strawberries?

She pours her yogurt overtop a handful of the dried strawberries and lets it sit [covered] in the fridge. It is yummy and the strawberries take up a bit of the extra softness of the yogurt making it thicker. she just pours the yogurt over diced canned peaches off her own tree. This might entice Frank? Thank you for the excellent read!Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348495575211204989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-62432456043263559582014-01-10T20:45:37.704-06:002014-01-10T20:45:37.704-06:00Fern,

Sugar depresses your immune system for a time after you eat it. And with so many foods with sugar in them, it is no wonder we have a lot of health issues. I know I am a long way from being sugar free, but I try to use natural sweeteners as often as possible. I love making home made yogurt, but I have the same problem, it doesn't always set up well. I use my dehydrator to keep it warm. I usually keep it in there for 6-12 hours. It tastes great though, no matter what the consistency is like.Lanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17713113631452498444noreply@blogger.com
