Homemade Yogurt.....by Caroline

Homemade Yogurt
Put half a gallon of whole milk (that is NOT ultra-pasturized) in a crock pot on low for 2 1/2 hours, then unplug it and let it sit covered for 3 hours. After letting it sit, whisk in 1/2 cup plain yogurt. Then wrap the crockpot in a couple towels or a blanket and let sit for 8 hours. If it's too runny for your tastes, then you can put a coffee filter in a stainer over a bowl and let some of the whey drain off. The longer you let it drain, the firmer it will get. A couple of hours and you have a greek yogurt, which you can substitute for sour cream. Several hours and you have yogurt cheese, which is a good substitute for cream cheese in recipes
