Home-made Yoghurt
Years ago when my son was little I made my own yoghurt using an electric yoghurt maker with about 6 jars. It was so easy I just plugged it in every evening and we had yoghurt every day. Over time and our routines changed the yoghurt maker was put at the back of the cupboard and eventually went to the charity shop.
During 'lockdown 'I have been reading my old recipe books and one of my favourite authors is Rose Elliott. Her Complete Vegetarian book is amazing and brought back lots of memories.
I am not a Vegetarian but like and use many of her recipes. The recipes are easy to follow and always taste amazing.
Reading the book again yesterday I came across her recipe for home-made yoghurt.
Heat 1 pint of milk in a saucepan until boiling and then simmer for 10 minutes (watch it does not boil over), turn off the heat and leave to cool to - lukewarm before adding 2 tablespoons of dried milk and 1 tablespoon natural yoghurt. Pour into small jars cover with tinfoil and leave in a warm place to set.
Oh! my goodness just as I remember it but even better. Thick, creamy natural yoghurt. I made some mixed berry compote by placing 350g mixed frozen berries into a samll saucepan with 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Heat slowly for approx 15-20 minutes until the berries are soft. Place in a container and leave in the fridge.
Breakfast is sorted: Yoghurt and Berry Compote.
I use whole milk from the local farm. They opened a vending machine last year that dispenses fresh litres of milk straight from the cow. They are going to start selling home-made butter and I can't wait. They also sell the most amazing milk shakes
