Homemade Yogurt mixed up with some homemade Jam by Jenn! I guess you can call it a cup of 'Jenn Jam Yogurt'

Did you realize you can increase your yogurt supply exponentially by simply following a few steps?  It’s not overly complicated, it’s in fact pretty straight forward.  I think of the process like this.  Your going to purchase some high quality expensive yogurt at the store, the kind that might be too pricey for you to afford regularly… you know which container I mean.  And your going to bring it home, feed a little yogurt a lot of super yummy milk that you have prepared for it, put it in a sealed container so that it can eat it’s milk in privacy and when the yogurt is done eating, you will have a jar FULL of yogurt instead of milk!   Seriously!

This process can also yield soft cheeses and spread for you!  I’m certainly no expert at this and am just learning myself.   I followed the process used by a fellow BYC user Miss Prissy found here: http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=70639#p70639

Here is the secondary information I used, to further understand the process.  http://extension.missouri.edu/p/GH1183  By the way if you go to that link, notice how many AMAZING and informative publications they provide for free on low cost meals, meal planning, and home made goods.
