中文：蓝莓果酱酸奶

The best yogurt goes to…tadah…my homemade blueberry yogurt! I literally can’t get enough of them. With a yogurt maker, I make seven or eight jar of yogurt at a time. They are always gone in three days. So I make yogurt and blueberry jam/sauce twice a week.

Ingredients:

1 quart organic / regular whole milk (4 cups)
1 small box of plain greek yogurt （5.3 oz, 150 g per box）

Notes:

I have tried both organic and regular whole milk. The difference between them is not quite noticeable. However, the yogurt made with whole milk tastes so much better than the one made with non-fat milk. Please do use whole milk if you want your yogurt taste good.

Remember to read the ingredients list on the package before you buy any plain yogurt as starter. It must contain live culture to make it work.

I don’t like to use homemade plain yogurt as starter to make another batch yogurt because the live culture will get weaker. I always buy Meijer store brand or fage greek yogurt as starter.

Directions:

Microwave the milk on high until it boils. It might take 6 to 8 minutes give or take depending on the microwave oven.

When the milk cools down, remove the milk skin on top.

Empty the plain greek yogurt to a large clean bowl; whisk until it becomes smooth and runny.

Gradually add milk while whisking.

Distribute evenly into the glass jars that come with yogurt maker. Or you can use any small glass jars as long as they can fit in the yogurt maker.

Cover with lids and place them in the yogurt maker. Turn it on. In 5 to 7 hours, transfer them to refrigerator to settle down overnight. You will have 7 jars of tasty plain yogurt the next day.

Leave them in the yogurt maker (buy from AMAZON) longer if you prefer firmer yogurt texture.

I like to top it with homemade blueberry sauce. It is way better than any blueberry yogurt I can find in the store, O(∩_∩)O~

I make one jar at a time. My husband and I were quite busy during summer time. We camped, we hiked, we biked, and we went to farms to handpick blueberries and cherries and freeze them for later use. I guess that is what makes it taste so good. The secret ingredient is indeed love!

For blueberry sauce：

3 cups frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 to 2/3 cup packed brown sugar (use more if prefer sweeter taste)

Place blueberries, lemon juice and brown sugar in a pot. Heat over medium heat until it thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent burning at the bottom. Blend with a food processor (Buy from AMAZON) or hand blender (Buy from AMAZON) to make it smooth sauce. You can skip it if you prefer chunky blueberry sauce.

When it cools down, cover with a lid and store in the refrigerator.
