There are yogurt maker's but it just as easy to make in your oven at home just set your oven for a 100 degrees for about 8 hours put it glass bowl and cover it with foil.

Try using fruit, frozen fruit , or get like pie filling in a can and add it to the home made yogut or you can take your fruit like you are making jelly cook it until it softens and cool it down add to your yogurt yummie

I get 4 oz jars of baby food they have so many different fruits and I mix that in the yogurt. Another is maple syrup.

Once you make yogurt you can make yocheese........yummo I replace 1/2 the sourcream or mayo in any recipe with yocheese. Yocheese has no taste of it's own so it picks up the flavor of the mayo and sourcream. I even mix it with cream cheese. To make yocheese line a strainer with a coffee filter and pour the yogurt into it. Let it drain about 3 hours and there you have it yocheese. The liquid that is left is the whey, it is packed with protein so I add it to smoothies or in place of water in homemade bread and soups.

You read my mind! I kept meaing to post a question about homemade yogurt! I have a yogurt maker, the problem is I need to make soy yogurt. I make my own soymilk (with a soymilk maker), I have the powdered soymilk, the non-dairy yogurt starter, etc. I follow the recipe that came with the machine and still my yogurt separates and is NASTY !!!!! My son has a dairy allergy and the soy yogurt at Kroger is $1 each. Not enough to break the bank, but every penny counts.

Any ideas anyone?? I really would like to be able to make my own.

thanks!!!

Wow I just figured it out if you bought the machine (because I'm not sure if my stove goes that low) and I don't have a toaster oven the price to make your own yogurt is the cost of a quart of milk. You get 8 4oz of yogurt,which is roughly $1.00/container and a quart of milk is about $1.00 it costs you about 12 cents to make. heck of a savings. Oh man DH is oging to die with the bread maker and now making yogurt. oh boy oh boy

Hi Margie,
I use jams, My favorite is Huckleberry, but blueberry, choke cherry,choke cherry, and cherry ( what I've canned) are all good too.
Great breakfast idea:
1/2 C yogurt
1/3 C All Bran buds
1C fresh fruit,
That'll stay with you all morning, low fat ,high fiber, portable. yummy
