1 quart milk
4 tablespoons commercial plain yogurt

There are several yogurt-making devices, but you can easily make it at home in
a large thermos
bottle using a candy thermometer. Sterilize all equipment in boiling water
before using. Bring milk to
a boil, then cool to 100 degrees F. In a small bowl blend yogurt with 1/4 cup
of warm milk. Whisk
it back into warm milk. Pour into a pre-warmed thermos, seal, and set aside in
a warm place for 7
hours. Turn yogurt out into a bowl set in a bowl of ice water, stirring to
quicken cooling. Cover and
refrigerate for 4 hours, or until thickened. Sweeten to taste, if desired, and
serve with raspberries.
Yogurt will keep for 4 to 5 days, covered and refrigerated.
