Good morning to everyone on this last day of October 2020. I hope that you are doing well today and have a really good day. I am enjoying some very nice and cool weather for this North Florida day.

I will have to post the photo, next month, when I make up some of this awesome yogurt for myself, again. This yogurt is thick, but not as thick as what you buy that is already made. So the texture is smooth but a little more drippy than the store bought type, and I do not want to add any thickner’s to it as I want it natural.

When you have finished making this yogurt and stored it in multiple bowls, then the combinations are endless for your own choice of flavors. I end up with 4 Betty Crocker plastic, square bowls that are half filled with yogurt and that’s a lot of yogurt! This will also last for a month in the refrigerator.

You could make banana yogurt or apples and cinnamon or strawberry or peach or blueberry or raspberry, just use your imagination!

The recipe is—-one 8 oz container of plain yogurt (must say acciladolphus) active cultures on it.

1/2 gallon of whole milk

2c. powdered milk

Farenhight themometer

Heating Pad

Start this recipe by putting the yogurt into an ice-tray the day before. When froze then put this in a ziplock baggie for your culture for this time and ten more yogurt adventures also. Thaw out 2 cubes when you start to make this recipe.

In a large heavy duty pot, pour in the half a gallon of whole milk and the 2 cups of powdered milk. Using a whisk to stir this the whole time that you are making this recipe. You do not want it to burn. Use medium heat.

Use your themometer to see that it gets up to 180-190 F. Then take off heat and cool down to 100-110 F and then add in the thawed 2 yogurt cubes and stir.

Set up your hot pad on top of a cutting board and turn to medium heat. Put the pot that is covered with a lid on it, on the hot pad and leave for 8 hours, or overnight, is my choice. Stir once in a while to make sure that it is not burning. When finished, you will have something amazing to add sugar and fruit to create your flavors. You could toss granola on top, when ready to eat. You can also leave it plain for sour-cream or use some in baking or cooking.

I do hope that you will try this! I have made this for many years and need to get back into it, which I plan to do just that.

Here is my recipe that I have been promising you from last week. All I can say is WOW! It is to die for!

Recipe Ingredients are: 3 mangos peeled and scraped from the seed.

1/2 can of sweetened condensed milk. 2 tsp. lemon juice pinch of salt

Put this in a food proccessor or a blender or even a mixing bowl. And mix until smooth. Then put in a freezer container with a closed lid and freeze for a day.

Now you do have to take this out and let it set out on the counter for 30 minutes before you can scoop it out, all nice and pretty like! Next time I may reblend it after it has been froze for a day, to see if it is more scoopable. Love too all. https://www.wisdomforpennies.com

PS That,s my little baby food processor in the photo so I did this in two batches. Anything works so it,s your turn now.

I found this little idea last year in 2019 and I have used it ever since!

Does your gallon of milk spoil before you can use it all up? Well, mine used to all of the time’ until I learned this handy tip.

This is the tip. I smell all foods that go through my kitchen so it is only natural for me to smell my milk before using for anything. So just as you smell it or taste it going slightly off this is what extends your milk’s life for another 5 days of time to use it up.

I sprinkle into my milk jug about 10 little salt grains (any salt will do) I only use pink Himalayan salt as it does not contain chemicals in it. This does not make the milk taste salty at all. And it extends it’s life so that you can use the milk for anything you need it for.

This sounds crazy but it really works! #Dairy #Tips

PS. My milk has June 16th as the expiration date and today is June 27th and the milk in the jug is still fresh as when I bought it! So that’s 11 days of extension.
