Yogurt making update!

The homemade yogurt is a huge hit!!  My boys love it!  They had it for breakfast and wanted 2nds and 3rds.  The yogurt is made plain without sweeteners.  So, I added a little honey and frozen blueberries from last years blueberry picking.  It makes a perfect breakfast- very easy and quick.  The yogurt was very easy to make, just boil the milk, let it cool to room temperature, then mix in the live culture or plain yogurt starter, then pour into jars in the machine and plug it in.  It takes between 6-8 hours to finish in the machine depending on whether you use whole or skim milk- skim takes longer.  Then you refrigerate it for at least 3 hours before serving.  So, make it the day before and refrigerate overnight for breakfast and/or school lunch.  Serve with a piece of homemade bread toasted with homemade butter- does not get much better than that!  Plus, it is so good for you.  The live cultures/bacteria are excellent for your digestive system which needs to be performing at top notch to ward off illnesses.
