The ingredients for Homemade Slow Cooker Yogurt are:

1/2 gallon - Milk, Fat Free, Skim you can use higher fat milk if you prefer, just adjust the nutrition values)
1 cup - Instant Nonfat Dry Milk
1 tsp - Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup - Plain Yogurt (musthave with active live cultures. I used Fage - 0%)

Here is how you make Homemade Slow Cooker Yogurt:

1) Plug in your crockpot and turn to low. Add the entire half gallon of milk, powdered milk, and sugar. Stir to cmbine. Cover and cook on low for 2 1/2 hours.2) Unplug your crockpot. Leave the cover on, and let it sit for 3 hours.3) When 3 hours have passed, scoop out 2 cups of the warmish milk and put it in a bowl. Whisk in 1/2 cup of store-bought live/active culture yogurt. Then dump the bowl contents back into the crockpot. Stir to combine.4) Put the lid back on your crockpot. Keep it unplugged, and wrap a heavy bath towel all the way around the crock for insulation.5) Go to bed, or let it sit for 8 hours.In the morning, the yogurt will have thickened---it's not as thick as store-bought yogurt, but has the consistency of low-fat plain yogurt.6) Chill in a plastic container(s) in the refrigerator. Your fresh yogurt will last 7-10 days. Save 1/2 cup as a starter to make a new batch.7) to make a thicker (Greek Style) yogrt, place a coffee fliter in a collander, place over a bowl, and pour yogurt into collander. Place in fridge for about 6-8 hours. This will seperate some ofthe whe (watelike liquid), and make thicker, creamier yogurt.If yo'd like, blend in batches with your favorite fruit. I did mango, strawberry, and blueberry. When you blend in the fruit, bubbles will form and might bother you. They aren't a big deal, and will settle eventually.1 Serving = 1/2 cupMakes 12 servingsNumber of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LILSTARLET.
