Yoghurt

[Oh_hunnihunni]

I make my own yoghurt. Sort of. With a very simple electric yoghurt  maker, various methods but recently using Hansell's Greek yoghurt powder. And this past week for some reason I had more than I used, a lot more, and so decided to try to make frozen yoghurt, flavoured with a bit of lemon curd I had in the freezer. Seemed simple enough, yoghurt in the food processor, add sugar to retard freezing, blitz till sugar incorporated, add curd, pulse to combine, pour into container and freeze, occasionally stirring to bring frozen edges into the mix and add more air.

My big mistake was tasting it. I may have created my new addiction.

I have advanced to frozen yogurt in recycled ice cream containers. Extra thick yogurt whizzed up in my lecky food processor no hot water required, with home grown honey, swirled through with poached plums and blueberries. Minus nasty little sticky label things.

Oh boy. So good...

Not yoghurt - but lemon curd...we stopped at a cafe in Roxburgh on our way back from Clyde, this morning...had coffee with sticky lemon slice...lots of lemon curd in that!

Oh it is wonderful stuff. But unfortunately, I have used the last of my stash of the golden loveliness. But the lemon tree has green fruit, so there is hope.

Meantime I am eating my first peaches, and becoming a little paranoid about wandering two legged peach pickers...

I may need to unearth the .22...

Factory made? Where do you think your packet of yoghurt powder comes from?

My favourite commercial yoghurt is Zany Zeus Greek but it's not readily available in our area. Next best I think is Collective plain Greek.

Yeah but I stir it!  

I do buy the Greek Hansells one though and drain the results so it is extra thick. And I did use some of the first lot together with the whey to start a second batch using some full cream milk powder someone gave me, and that worked just as well as the powder.
It certainly tastes better than using that powder to make the milk for my tea. Weird the way we get used to skinny milk over the years...
