Gorgeous! And funny, I just started making my own yogurt recently - in a crock pot! It works beautifully (just google for various recipes), and I strain it to make it more like Greek yogurt, which was costing me obscene amounts of money. I think I've got the texture down, but do any other commenters know how to achieve the tang?

Me! Latest favorite is yogurt with some dried cranberries and toasted almonds, and Weetabix crumbled on top.

Love it. I make yogurt every Sunday. Usually I make a 1/2 gallon of milk worth - most of it gets used for breakfasts, but I also use it in fruit salad, strain some of it for yogurt cheese to spread on sandwiches, etc.
Sandy - for the tang ... what starter yogurt are you using? Experiment with different starters. I mostly use Stoneyfield Farms Organic plain but some of the Greek yogurts give a different flavor. Also the longer you ferment it and the longer it sits in the fridge, the tangier it gets. Usually by the end of the week, what I have in the fridge is much tarter than it was on Monday.

I really need to do this.

Yogurt-maker here too - I think I have the same machine she does, I recognize the jars. I make plain whole-milk yogurt and eat it with blueberries and a spoonful of maple syrup. Om nom nom.

I love it! It's almost a different product when made at home - much thicker and creamier. Plus chopped mango or a bit of There's a special version we make for holidays, combining condensed milk, yogurt, and water. Yum!

My aunt is in town from India, so she makes homemade yogurt. It is so yummy...and, ironically, I had it with rhubarb compote today, some homemade stuff that a friend brought over yesterday. Perfect.

@dmarina you can definitely make raw milk yogurt, but you have to watch the temperature very closely. I found some instructions online a few months ago.
