Crockpot Yogurt

• 8 C  milk (I used fat free) (Pasteurized is ok but NOT ultra-pasteurized)
• 1/2 C plain yogurt with live cultures
• 1/2 C of powdered milk
• vanilla
• 4 T. honey

1. Put 8 C milk in crockpot on low for 2.5 hours.  
2. Unplug crockpot.  Let milk sit for 3 hours. 
3. Scoop 2 cups of the warm milk into a small bowl and add: the live active-culture yogurt, powdered milk, vanilla and honey.  
4. Wisk together and pour into crockpot.  Stir. 
5. Put lid on crockpot and cover with a heavy bath towel to insulate. Let sit for 8 hours. 
6. Save 1/2 C for the next batch.
7. Blend in fruit to taste. 

This recipe is from here:

I added the powdered milk, vanilla and honey instead of the fruit called for at the suggestion of a commenter who said the fruit (and maybe the fat free milk) made it harder to solidify.  They suggested adding plain gelatin instead of the powdered milk, but I didn't have that on hand.  Save 1/2 cup to use in starting the next batch.

The consistency is great and I like the flavor.  Fruit can be added per serving.  I had it this morning over frozen berries.  My dh eats a lot of yogurt--so much that I can't keep enough in the house.  Hopefully this will help!
