Yeah, its the small things that amuse me sometimes. The kids and I eat a lot of yogurt, a good source of dairy for the kids, and is much healthier than ice cream or custard, and its very good source of protein without too many calories for myself. But the cost of yogurt in the shops is hideous, and I thought you could only make it using those almost as expensive pre-made yogurt making packs.
Noooooo!
Is so easy! After a little reading, and just a few minutes of my time yesterday I made my very first batch. I'm pretty happy with it, but am going to try a couple of little changes to my next batch to see if I can make it thicker, so won't divulge the details of yogurt making just yet. I want to find the best recipe possible first.
So the container you see hasn't been flavoured as yet, and the kids and myself have already scoffed the stuff that had raspberry jam added, and the vanilla one. But I have visions of blueberry yogurt, cheesecake yogurt, real strawberry yogurt using strawberries from the garden (will be a small batch as we only ever get 3 berries at a time, and then you have to fight the kids for them). And to think I now have control over sugars (no more nasty artificial sweeteners) and preservatives, while saving money and the waste of packaging at the same time.
Yes, this makes me happy!
