love to add fruit
I have to agree that there is a lot of “variability” to this simple recipe. However, rating this one a “5” because of the informative link that was provided below. It explains the whole process to make yogurt (makeyourownyogurt site). The info there can also saved in adobe format.
This is a good starting point for starting to make your own yogurt. However, the technique described is open to a lot of variability. Here is a very similar recipe that achieves predictable results every time out, with no more work or special equipment:

I followed the directions using 1% milk, fat free half & half, and just purchased greek yogurt that said it had live cultures. After 7 hours I had…room temperature milk. What went wrong?
I have been looking for this recipe for
ages. My mother made homemade yogurt
and I think this came out even smoother
than hers. So easy to make!!

Creamy and delicious and I use skim milk and it comes out wonderful. Better than anything you can buy in the store.
