About


You can keep an ongoing supply of fresh homemade yogurt going forever with this recipe.  With the last 2 TBS of the yogurt in the bowl, you can make a new batch.  You can mix in fresh fruit or preserves for your own flavored gourmet yogurt that is wonderfully rich and not as tart as commercially prepared yogurt.  It's also wonderful for yogurt-based dishes such as tzatziki sauce or Indian Raitas.  You can use 2% milk for a lower fat product and skim milk for a fat free yogurt although I don't think it's as good. You can flavor it any number of ways and use it in any recipe requiring yogurt.
