If it's a little thin, don't worry, you can leave it to cure for up to 7-8 hours. Lowfat milk takes a little longer to set than whole. <BR/><BR/>After it has set you just refrigerate and eat in within a couple of weeks. <BR/><BR/>You can also either put it in cups as a liquid and cure in the cups in a warm water bath, or you can just cure the whole batch and separate into cups later. I personally put it into cups first. Since you are not using high heat during the curing process, Rubbermaid or like style containers will do just fine. If you wash an reuse butter, cool-whip and other such containers, they work fine too. I've tried them all! <BR/><BR/>Also, the yogurt will thicken just a bit more once it gets cold in the fridge.<BR/><BR/>As I side note, this is what I usually do with older milk - not spoiled milk, but the milk that has a few days on it and I want to start a fresh gallon for drinking. The scalding process kills off bad bacteria, but it won't work on milk that has already spoiled.<BR/><BR/>This is also a good thing to do with your leftover milk if you're going out of town for a few days and don't want to waste your milk!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00078080795505133262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294901009667549351.post-33095616351105067432008-08-04T13:46:00.000-04:002008-08-04T13:46:00.000-04:00So, how do you finish this?

And, how long will it keep? I'm full of questions...I know, but I'm seriously considering trying this out, and I don't want to mess up before I even start!snippity1https://www.blogger.com/profile/01262477738010780910noreply@blogger.com
