Making thicker Yogurt
A quick update on making yogurt. I've discovered a way recently to make my yogurt thicker and taste more like store bought yogurt. I add 1 cup of sugar to a 1/2 gallon of milk when I am adding the yogurt starter and vanilla, before I put it in jars to put in the oven. See my earlier post on how to make yogurt. I know it adds cost and calories to the yogurt, but it does get my kiddos to eat it better - it's not as tangy and sour - so overall, I feel like it's the way to go for us and yogurt making. Thought I'd post this for anyone else looking to thicken up their yogurt.

I use 1/4 cup powered milk to 1 Qt milk and it comes out much thicker, more custard consistancy, also add some honey, or sugar...

I just found your blog and really like it. I read all the way back to the first post and seen that you visited Roanoke, VA. I live in Floyd just about 40 minutes from Roanoke, hubby works in Roanoke. We love this area, of course we've never lived anywhere else, so we wouldn't know any different. There is beautiful farms and land everywhere and love the Mountains. I would love for you to visit my blog http://cemommy.blogspot.com .

as to adding the sugar, do you need to let it dissolve before it goes in the oven overnight?

No. I pour in the sugar and some powdered milk, vanilla, and yogurt starter. Then I wisk it up for a minutes, then pour it into my jars.

You can add powdered milk to thicken the yogurt. Then a few tablespoons of maple syrup will sweeten it. I make mine in the crock pot - fast and easy!
