Making Yogurt in Your CrockPot

I’d love to help you simplify your meal planning. Check out my new menu planning course here.

There are lots of posts out there on how to make yogurt in your crockpot so I am going to share with you my abbreviated recipe and send you to a couple of favorite sites that were a help to me in this process.

It is simple, fast and very economical because every time you make a batch after the first one you will have your own yogurt to start with.  We use whole milk that is free from growth hormones but it isn’t always organic.

Two great websites that explain in detail are:  You Can Make Yogurt in Your CrockPot from Stephanie at A Year of Slow Cooking and Caroline at The Modest Mom has a great post called How to Make Greek Yogurt in the CrockPot.

I use a half gallon of milk because the yogurt lasts about 7-10 days and this quantity works well for our family and I use the method Caroline has in her post on how to make greek yogurt by straining it for several hours and having the whey on hand is a great bonus too!

Here is my abbreviated recipe and I encourage you to visit both links to get a good overall picture of the process:

Greek Yogurt in the CrockPot

1/2 Gallon of Milk
1/2 cup plain yogurt (after your first batch this will be your own)

 

  1. Cook milk in your crockpot on low for 2 1/2 hours.
  2. Turn the crockpot off for 3 hours.
  3. Take out 2 cups of milk and add in your 1/2 cup yogurt.
  4. Mix together and add back to the crockpot and blend well.
  5. Cover your lidded crock pot with a towel and leave overnight or for at least 8 hours.
  6. Strain your yogurt over a colander lined with paper towels or cheesecloth put inside a bowl in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
  7. Place yogurt and whey in jars, label and store in the fridge for about 10 days.
*I usually start my yogurt around 3:00 or 4:00 pm.  This is because I’m old and go to bed early.  I made it the other night and had to stay up until 10:00 pm and I thought I wasn’t going to make it!!
Quick tip:  I like the wide mouth plastic canning jar lids to store the yogurt (or really anything) because you can write on the lids with a dry erase marker and it just washes off easily when you’re done with it.

    Question: is it good for up to 10 days, or does it have to sit for 10 days before you can eat it?

    This is pretty close to the process I use, and I love, love, love it! Homemade yogurt is so much cheaper than store bought, and I love keeping an eye on quality, value, and, well, the total lack of fake, funky ingredients. Plus, the crockpot method is so easy! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

“The challenge of ministry in our home is that we do not always feel very “spiritual” when we wash our dishes. It hardly feels significant to scrub our toilet. and we can feel that we are truly ministering when the Lord uses us to communicate a word of wisdom to someone, or He provides an opportunity to share the gospel with our neighbor. That seems like real ministry. And that is real ministry to be sure! But no more so than when we are wiping runny noses or cleaning the bathroom. That is because we have a very narrow view of true spirituality… The Lord wants to help us see the significance of ministry at home. He also wants to expand our vision for the multiple opportunities that we have for ministry in the home. Let’s ask the LORD to help us gain a biblical perspective of our ministry at home.”⁣

Titus 2:3-5

[3] Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, [4] and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, [5] to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.

As Christians, prayer should be an essential part As Christians, prayer should be an essential part of our lives. Spending time in prayer with our Heavenly Father grows us in our relationship with Him; it rights our thinking, gives us peaceful hearts and love towards one another, and is an act of worship to the Lord.⁣
⁣
I hope we will not neglect this spiritual discipline that is the most precious gift from our Lord next to our salvation. We always have a loving Father to communicate our emotions, desires, and concerns. Prayer is simply talking to God. As we come to Him in prayer, it reminds us of our utter dependence on Him for all things.⁣

As I’m recommending books on prayer, I want to share two of my favorite prayer apps. @prayermateapp has organized my prayer life and kept me consistently praying for the needs of others on a regular basis. Prayer notebook app (link in the post) I keep on my phone and pray through daily. I have seven categories, one for each day of the week and an area to add in prayer as friends and family request prayer needs. ⁣

Jesus is like the tree planted by streams of water. His life was abundantly fruitful, and all that He did, He prospered. His life, death, and resurrection accomplished the salvation of sinners—all those who can’t live up to the demands of Psalm 1 but put their faith and trust in Jesus alone for salvation.⁣
