Homemade Yogurt

I started buying Jersey milk from Appleton Farm in Ipswich.  So good and so local!  It is available at Appleton Farm and at Green Meadow Farm.  I grew up with Jersey cows, so I was excited about this.  The milk comes in glass bottles.  There is a $2 deposit for the bottle, so don't put it in your recycling bin.  Please rinse and return it to the Farmstand.

Last week I made a wonderful batch of yogurt.  I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my yogurt came out fine sitting overnight in a cooler with jars of hot water.  No need to buy a yogurt maker.
