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. 🙂

"Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣ ⁣ Very lar "Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣
⁣
Very largely does the wife hold in her ⁣
hands, as a sacred trust, the happiness ⁣
and the highest good of the hearts that ⁣
nestle there. In the last analysis, home ⁣
happiness depends on the wife. ⁣
⁣
Her spirit gives the home its atmosphere. ⁣
⁣
Her hands fashion its beauty. ⁣
⁣
Her heart makes its love. ⁣
⁣
And the end is so worthy, so noble, so divine, ⁣
that no woman who has been called to be a wife, ⁣
and has listened to the call, should consider any⁣
price too great to pay, to be . . .⁣
 the light,⁣
 the joy,⁣
 the blessing,⁣
 the inspiration, ⁣
of a home. ⁣
⁣
The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, ⁣
filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing ⁣
something better than anything else her hands ⁣
could find to do beneath the skies.⁣
⁣
A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of ⁣
home happiness. God sends many beautiful things ⁣
to this world, many noble gifts; but no blessing is ⁣
richer than that which He bestows in a mother who ⁣
has learned love's lessons well, and has realized ⁣
something of the meaning of her sacred calling."⁣

Summer is a natural time for me to get off my rout Summer is a natural time for me to get off my routine of menu planning. In the winter, we're more apt to stick to a schedule, but summer brings about a more flexible and changing calendar. ⁣
