I made yoghurt over the Easter weekend. I used the slow cooker method, from
Little Poppa, and it was very easy, and worked beautifully. I made lots of dishes (to wash), but I think the hardest part is getting the flavouring right. I prefer my yoghurt plain, in/on a savoury dish, but Liv goes through quite a lot of flavoured yoghurt every week, so we tried out our new stainless steel icy pole moulds. We flavoured them with a little honey, and some strawberry jam. Next time, I'll use a blender, so all the lumps will disappear. Yet another grocery item that is easy to make!

I havent tried making yoghurt yet but its on my list! Like you I do prefer mine plain. I will follow that link and have a look, Thanks!
Must make yoghurt again. I used to do it in the slow cooker too. Was yours thick? Mine used too be a bit too thin.
Thanks for your comments, girls :) Veggiegobbler- I strained my yoghurt through muslin to separate the curds and whey. I lined a colander with muslin/cheesecloth, and put the colander in a bowl, then tipped the yoghurt into the colander. Quite a bit of liquid was left in the bowl, which leaves a thicker yoghurt.
I too make my own yoghurt using my Thermomix which makes it pretty ridiculously easy. And knowing that shop bought yoghurt is full of thickeners, artificial colours and flavours and the probiotics are dying or dead after being heat treated or kept on the shelf too long it's so great to know we have good quality live yoghurt at home. My kids eat it plain with fruit mixed through - sultanas, choppe dates, frozen berries etc. I'm not such a fan I'm sad to say but will eat it with dates in.
