Yogurt Methodologies

Maybe, but the fruit would be more or less pasteurised, if the fruit would be added in from the start.

surely only if you boil it in the milk from the start (which is not how I imagined it would be, to be honest).

I've got some blueberries so I can boil and mash and make a compote to add to the boiled milk. It strains well so it'll still probably be thick. I think the extra sugar might give the lactobacillus more to eat so it'll be more tart.

I'll make a half batch for testing.

So I mixed up and boiled a half batch of milk and half-and-half, 500 ml total. Then I boiled and mashed 175 ml of blueberries, cooking them down to about a Tbsp of liquid in the pot plus the fruit.

It worked! (On the left.)

Wow looks great - good result and good to know! Really good test!

Thank you. The blueberry flavor is very mild and that's okay. This isn't fruit/sugary forward like that stuff you get in the store that's got an added 21 grams of sugar per 170 g of serving.

I just remembered I have a cookery book devoted entirely to yoghurt recipes.

If you can, whenever, post an ISBN I'd like to check it out.

The book is about using yoghurt in recipes rather than making yoghurt.

Edit: Found it: it does have a section about making yoghurt though.

That's fine, I'm mostly in spoon mode so other options are good.

I bought it second hand very cheaply:

I somehow doubt you will get it in the USA. But the ISBN is: 978-1-906502-61-4

Its actually quite an ancient book (1980's but the version I have was reprinted in 2010.

Apparently, the yoghurt maker works better when turned on at the wall.
