It doesn't have to be boiled first though, since the milk cultures are already killed. For me, that's a good thing, since I burn milk in the pan whenever I try to boil it. :)<br /><br />I just read you can add a tsp of plain gelatin to the yogurt to thicken it too. I might have to keep making lots of yogurt until I find a recipe that works really well.<br /><br />The yogurt tastes good, and the kids eat it as fast as I can make it, so I don't think anyone will mind.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02784160644947020521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16899492.post-11440188041736142482007-01-01T15:36:00.000-05:002007-01-01T15:36:00.000-05:00Most store-bought yogurt is thicker because it has...Most store-bought yogurt is thicker because it has added thickeners. We usually buy a brand that is made European-style (without thickeners), it comes from an organic dairy in Marin county and they don't put anything in it but the milk and cultures (and sugar plus vanilla or maple if it's flavored). I like to get plain yogurt and mix it with jam if I want fruit flavor. So your yogurt sounds like it's closer to the real thing. However you might experiment with pectin as a thickener.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10506678625592788292noreply@blogger.com
