Yogurt a la Mom-In-Law

Making yogurt yesterday went much better than making mozzarella that one time. It helped that my mom-in-law is an expert and she walked me through it (Well, she pretty much did it and I watched. Until it got too late and I went to bed while she finished. Thanks, mom!).

Yogurt a la Mom-In-Law

1 gallon milk

1/2 cup sugar (or less if you like tart yogurt)

1/2 cup pwd milk

Heat SLOWLY on stove to 180 degrees.

(This should take at least an hour, so make sure

it's on a low/medium heat setting.)

Remove from heat, cool to 110 degrees, then add:

8 oz "live" yogurt

Vanilla

Pour into mason jars. Affix lids. Put in oven with

only the oven light on for 8 hours.

(Do not turn on the oven.)

Remove from oven and refrigerate.
