HOMEMADE GREEK/BALKAN STYLE YOGURT
This is a recipe that I adapted from one I saw on YouTube. I have tried making homemade yogurt many times, using various methods and, BY FAR, this is the easiest way I've found. AND...It makes fabulous yogurt! I followed the directions on YouTube and mixed some with berries and honey. Yum!

Steps:
- Pour the milk and powdered milk into a large pot or saucepan and heat on stove to 185F, stirring constantly. This should take about 10 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let the milk sit until the temperature reads 110°F
- Add the starter and stir to combine.
- Put the lid on the pot and wrap the pot in a blanket. Put it in a warm place (I use my oven - turned off, of course!).
- Leave it for at least 12 hours. When you check it, it should be solidified, but creamy when stirred.
- Empty the yogurt into a colander lined with cheesecloth. Set the colander in a large bowl and put it back in the blanket for 1-2 hours.
- When you check it, there should be about a cup to a cup and a half of clear liquid (whey) in the bowl and the yogurt will be thickened considerably.
- Transfer the yogurt to the container and refrigerate.

HOMEMADE THICK CREAMY YOGURT
Pure yogurt is quite soft and watery. This recipe adds gelatine and cornstarch like most store-bought brands. The result is a velvety smooth, thick creamy yogurt.

Steps:
- Have ready a sterilized whisk, spoon and candy thermometer.
- Put milk into a heavy bottomed pot or microwavable dish.
- Sprinkle gelatine crystals over cold milk, stir and let sit 10 minutes.
- Add cornstarch and whisk until smooth.
- If using a pot, scald the milk over medium or medium-high heat, whisking often to prevent burning.
- If using a microwave, heat milk on high and whisk every few minutes until milk reaches a temperature of 95 degrees Celsius or 203 Fahrenheit.
- Remove from heat and let cool to 52 degrees Celsius or 125 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a sterilized spoon to add the yogurt from a newly opened container and whisk until smooth.
- Pour into sterilized containers with lids and incubate 4 to 6 hours. I do this by warming a comforter or sleeping bag in the dryer then using it to wrap the yogurt containers. Be creative.
- Refrigerate when set.
- Stir before using to mix in the separated whey.
- To flavour the yogurt, just add fruit, sweetener, jam, spices, flavoured extract, concentrated juice, or whatever you prefer.
- Keeps up to 3 weeks. Remember to use some of the last batch to make a new batch.
HOMEMADE THICK VANILLA YOGURT
I was introduced to making yogurt at home by Mrs. Lakhani's excellent Indian Recipes for a Healthy Heart. After much experimenting and many of my own tweaks, I have come up with a very thick yogurt that always gets raves.

Steps:
- Make sure all of your cooking implements are very clean before you start. You will be using a medium sized pot, a large pyrex (or other non-metal) bowl, and some measuring tools and stirrers. It also helps to have a thermometer. I usually pour boiling water over them.
- Stir the agave into the milk, and put it on the stove at medium heat.
- Slowly add the milk powder to the milk, stirring constantly so as to avoid scalding.
- Add the vanilla and stir well right before the milk reaches the boiling point.
- When the milk just begins to bubble, or alternately, when it hits 210 degrees F (just below boiling), remove it from the heat and transfer to a non-metal bowl (something with thick sides works best).
- Let the milk sit until it's just cool enough to hold your finger in for fifteen seconds (or until it hits 105 degrees F).
- Your 1/4 cup of yogurt (starter) should be at room temperature. Add enough of the milk to your starter to mix it into a thin liquid, and add this back to the milk, making sure it's stirred in very well.
- Put plastic wrap over the bowl, wrap it in a small towel, and place it somewhere warm where it won't be disturbed (I use a rice cooker on the warm setting).
- Let it sit for 6-12 hours, making sure not to peek or otherwise move the bowl. The time will vary depending on how warm it is where the yogurt is left to ferment, but as a rule, warmer spots will take less time and cooler spots will take more, but leaving the yogurt anywhere warmer than 110 degrees should be avoided, as it may kill the active cultures. For me, nine hours works best.
- When it has finished fermenting, the plastic will puff out and your yogurt will be sitting in a yellowish syrup. This is just the whey, and it is up to you whether or not you want to drain it off. Place the yogurt in the fridge and let it get cold before serving.
- Reduce the milk powder to 3 tbsp and omit the agave and vanilla for plain yogurt that can be used in recipes.

- In a large saucepan, bring 1 1/2 inches of water to a boil. Set a large stainless steel bowl over the saucepan and add the milk; do not let the bowl touch the water. Turn the heat to low and gradually heat the milk, whisking, until it registers 180° on a candy thermometer. Keep the milk at 180° for 30 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary.
- Remove the bowl from the saucepan and let the milk cool down to 106°, stirring often. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 110°. If using yogurt, whisk it with 2 cups of the warm milk in a bowl until smooth, then add it back into the warm milk.If using powdered yogurt culture, sprinkle the powder all over the warm milk.
- Whisk the cultured warm milk for 3 minutes. Fill several clean jars to 1 inch below the rim with the cultured milk. Cap the jars and place in the warmed oven (or a yogurt maker or other gently heated spot); the cultured milk should stay between 105° and 110° during the entire process. Begin checking the yogurt after 4 1/2 hours; it’s ready when it is thick, tangy and surrounded by a small amount of clear whey. If using a pH meter, the yogurt is ready when it registers 4.5. Depending on how active the cultures are, it can take up to 18 hours for the yogurt to set and develop its characteristic tang. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled or overnight.
- Line a large mesh colander or strainer with a moistened cotton cloth or several layers of cheesecloth and set it over a large bowl. Scoop the yogurt into the colander. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 6 hours, or until it reaches the desired thickness.
