Yesterday morning this quart jar was filled with fresh, raw cow's milk. By yesterday evening, it was filled with yogurt. I haven't tasted it yet, but I'm excited about the prospect. Frankly, I'm just excited about the fact that I have yogurt sitting in my fridge that was made here at home All it required was 1/3. c. plain yogurt (the very last of a container I bought at the store) and a quart of milk we got from the farm last weekend. I used the candy thermometer I got for Christmas (so glad to have an accurate thermometer) when heating up and cooling down the milk, and then the jar sat in a warm oven for most of the day. And voila! Milk became yogurt.

About 30 years ago we did this regularly except with a yogurt kit complete with containers and a light bulb that took care of keeping it warm after the initial heating. We used raw milk from the same farm but probably not the same cows :)
