My own Fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt
My husband is not sold on the homemade yogurt I've been making each week, preferring to buy a name brand organic with fruit on the bottom to take in his lunch. Sooo..of course the wheels were turning... and I decided to try making my own.
I'm using 4oz. canning jars which may be a little small but the jelly jars are a little too big for an individual serving. We had some blackberries in the freezer so I used a bag of those with a little sugar and cornstarch to thicken them. Because the fruit was hot, the yogurt wanted to mix right in with it which would be fine but wouldn't look as nice as I'd hoped. I put a TBSP of the fruit mix in the bottom of each jar and popped them in the freezer.
After about an hour, they were nearly solid so I filled the rest of the jar with a batch of homemade yogurt, topped each with a lid and ring. Voila! My own fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt!
We'll see how well it goes over with the skeptics!

ReplyDeleteHere's a new twist on the above...I cooked the wild cranberries into a sauce and my husband decided to try it on the yogurt and he loves it!
ReplyDeleteGreat TIP! love this!

I bet this tastes wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHow cool to make your own yogurt. I'm sure it's delicious, but I'll just stick to buying it when I want it.

It looks yummy! I'm pretty picky about my yogurt too. Of course I couldn't convince my husband to eat yogurt if it made you live forever!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about your skeptics, but it sure looks good to me!
ReplyDelete=)
Oh yummy yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteI've often thought about doing that, especially with lemon, my favorite, but never researched it. Ha! Now, I don't have to. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love hearing from everyone! Good ideas! Keep 'em coming! Thanks for your comments. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so yummy. I'm longing to start milking, so I can make my own yogurt again.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I like the idea of having fruit on the bottom
ReplyDelete@Nick
ReplyDeleteNot sure why it matters but having the fruit on the bottom tastes better than mixing it in. A little fruit with every bite!
@Teresa
ReplyDeleteHow cool would that be?!!! I'd love to have my own cow to milk!
delicious.
ReplyDeleteHow did he like it? I would totally adore it...looks scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried maple syrup with yogurt? I bought some the other day like that and it was different...might be worth a try.
Thanks for a delicious link to Alphabe-Thursday.
You made me hungry.
A+
@Jenny
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea...we're at the end of our maple sugaring so I'll have some fresh syrup to use.
Thanks for visiting.
Great Idea! I think I'll try this with our kiefer. I just know my tribe will love it! I think I will just cool the filling and dish it as needed. The little jars could make very appealing travel breakfasts in the car for long trips though...I'll remember that!
