Food from scratch

Steph, you just let them milk go bad to make yogurt right? Add some strawberries.
 
No. I believe if you do that you get curds and whey, which I don't care for.

To make yogurt you boil the milk, let it cool to 105F or so, add yogurt bacteria, and incubate for about 8 hours at roughly that temp. The easiest place to get yogurt bacteria is from a spoonful of yogurt (in that sense the process is akin to using and maintaining a sourdough starter), but I think you can buy them separately in powdered form as well.
 
I just checked and that's not what curds and whey are, as many of you probably already knew.

But if you just let the milk go bad, you get a yogurt-flavored lumpy stuff that the Malagasy call abobo (ah-boo-boo) and eat in the country where there's no refrigeration. I do not like it. At all.
