Introduction to Homemade Yogurt
I’m not quite sure how I’ve gone so long before teaching about yogurt…but better late than never, right? We’re going to be working on homemade yogurt together over the next couple of weeks. I’ll show you some AMAZING things that you can do with yogurt! Not only will it be good for your waistline and pocketbook, your taste buds will also be thanking you! So, to make sure you’re all ready to begin. Here is a video introducing yogurt, it’s benefits, how we’re going to use food storage in it and the items you’ll need so we can get started.
One last word on the yogurt starter you choose: Be sure the product label indicates that it CONTAINS live cultures. Also note the content of the culture. L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus are required in yogurt, but some manufacturers may in addition add L. acidophilus and/or B. bifidum. The latter two are used for slight variations in flavor, but more commonly for health reasons attributed to these organisms.
CHEESECLOTH:
If you’re wondering where to find cheesecloth for cheap, the best place is bulk at AMAZON. You can check it out for yourself, by clicking HERE.
Wow! I’m excited to see how yogurt can be made in a crockpot!!
I’m with you on that Lgleavitt….never new you could use it like that…wonderful!
Yogurt using food storage? I am so in! Looking forward to this!
I AM SO EXCITED! (sing like Jessie off of saved by the bell)
I inherited a 6 c. yogurt maker from the sister I visit teach and after two years of having it am just getting the courage to use it! I bought my yogurt to start and today I see your video, perfect timing! Can’t wait to learn more!

Whoa!! I love making yogurt but to use powdered milk too???? Amazing. Thank you
I am soooo excited to learn about yogurt. This is something I have always wanted to learn. It will also fit in perfect with our Relief Society meeting in April where we compare the price of stare bought to home made. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge!!
If you have an excalbur dehydrator, you can make wonderful yogurt in there as well. We love homemade yogurt, and I use powdered milk too. I’ll be anxious to hear your ideas and how you make yours! This will be so helpful to so many people. People are always so shocked to hear how easy it is to make.
I love that you’re doing this! I am a Greek yogurt addict. I eat it almost every morning with defrosted berries and a little home made granola on top. It’s like a dessert! I have wondered about making it. My mother in law is Finnish and she said they always used to make yogurt when she was little. I’m so excited for your blog series! Thank you for all of your hard work and experimentation that we can all benefit from!
I am excited to watch your series (hurry!!). I made my first batch a couple of weeks ago and it turned out kind of stringy. Any ideas what I did wrong???
You are bringing Home-Ec knowledge back, I thank you! I am sending this to all of my family, friends and contacts. What a generous way to teach our most commonly forgotten skill …Making A Home. Kudos Miss Crystal!
Just love you! I was just reading books about yogurt last night and today. I know how just afraid to do it. Thank you for the video series. You are so awesome Crystal.
I’m one of the lactose intolerant people you talk about! I love yogurt and frozen yogurt and am so very excited to learn how I can make and eat one of my favorite foods again! I’m also over 50 and know the benefits of low fat calcium options to help with bone health. Cannot wait!!

🙁 I really wanted a Bosch. I guess I’ll have to wait. Maybe next year. Thanks for the chance for one.
I love to make yogurt in my crock pot. SO EASY! We use it in lots of ways but I just learned a few more.
Fascinating!
It’s as if you read my mind – I’ve been considering trying to make my own yogurt this month and here you are with a fabulously inspiring AND educational how-to video [series!]. I just want to HUG you!
Thank you SO much for sharing!!!
I’m not nearly as down about not winning the Bosch now 😉
I can’t wait to learn more! Definately going to make my own yogurt. Probiotics are needed in our house with my children’s allergies.
I am excited to do this but I am one of those people who rec. many years ago for Christmas a yoguart maker which is shoved to the back of my cupboard, will I be able to use it or will this make to much for that?

I am so excited to watch this series! I go through phases, and I used to make yogurt all the time. I’m looking forward to seeing what all you do with it. Don’t keep us waiting. I’m anxious to get started! 🙂

Crystal, I know you work hard to get information to everyone in a usable format. However, I now live rural and we are on a satellite with VERY limited use. We pay close to $100 a month and have a cap on our usage. So… I can’t watch videos, download/upload, etc. without going over our limit. Is it possible to get the information in print? Thanks.
