Shabbat Menu - Grilled Marinated London Broil

Even Manna get's boring. In this week’s parsha, the false memory of an Egyptian bounty of fish, cucumbers, watermelons, leeks, onions and garlic leads the people to beg for meat instead of manna. ...

Easy Homemade Croutons For Salad

You know I'm not a from-scratch girl. More like a semi-homemade woman. I take lots of shortcuts (in the kitchen and in life) but one thing I loathe is store-bought croutons. No croutons out of a bag for me! ...

Homemade Fat Free Greek Style Yogurt With Photos

The range of time you strain the yogurt will be a reflection of desired consistency. The yogurt should strain for a minimum of 8 hours. But I find the yogurt in Israel especially the 0%/fat-free variety to be extremely loose and watery so it does in fact need about 24 hours to result in the thickness I prefer. If using a brand of yogurt commonly found in the US about 8 hours/overnight should be just right.

Times

Ready Time : 0 min

Servings

1 1/2 cups

Ingredients

3 Cups 0% Fat-Free or Low Fat Plain Yogurt

Directions

Many thanks to the amazingly talented photographer, blogger and recipe developer Sina Mizrahi from the TheKosherSpoon.com. I fell in love with Sina, her cooking her photography, after visiting her beautiful blog. She opens up about her life, her food, her family and cooks (sometimes) simple meals with seasonal produce that are (mostly) nutritious. Please visit her site.

Line a fine-mesh sieve with muslin or cheesecloth.

Place the strainer in a bowl large enough so that the excess liquid can drip down and collect at the bottom of the bowl.

Spoon the yogurt into the strainer.

Place in the fridge, covered tightly with plastic wrap, for at least 8 hours or up to 24hours.

Serving suggestions:
Berries
Cut Fruit
Granola
Honey
Agave Nectar
Maple Syrup
Turbinado Sugar
Truvia

Yield: 1 1/2 cups Greek-Style Yogurt

Looks delicious! I think you can make cream cheese the same way.

That’s a great idea for when I run out. Normally I make my own, and it takes about the same amount of time— but I start at night so it can sit all night in the oven with the oven light on— ready in the morning for straining. For straining I use old-fashioned muslin diapers [new of course] and they are reusable.
I make my own every week with 1/2 or 1 gallon of milk from Costco/Sam’s Club. Ends up costing me a couple bucks for large container. In case anyone wants to try from scratch, the recipe I follow is:
