Is This In My Future?

Currently I am making another batch of yogurt. This time I have used an ultra-pasteurized organic milk. The dairy's cattle freely graze on grass, are not corn-fed. Meat and dairy products from grass-fed cattle is said to have a good kind of trans-fat. The yogurt I use as starter for the new culture is an organic product.

The next step for me may be to graduate to a large yogurt maker. It makes, in bulk, 2 quarts of product. A double-walled construction — presenting a 'cylinder of water' — provides even heating with an incubation time of half that as for my '7 single-servings' maker.

The positive reviews given this item are very compelling. I believe that it will be smart to include yogurt daily in my diet. I love the flavor plain; therefore, can avoid always adding sugary fruits. Yet, I have been throwing in frozen blueberries occasionally. Yummy, healthy treat both ways.

  2. HoosierGirl — I am actually on the fence with this one. I do like the individual servings in the glass jar. Yet, having my yogurt ready to refrigerate after only 4.5 hours — rather than ten — seems good.

    Perhaps I shall do both. Having bulk to serve from at home will be convenient. Shirley and John can take individual servings for their lunch on workdays. It's all good.

  3. Sounds interesting. Can't wait to hear how it turns out.
