For Sheila was: Yoghurt and gelatine

[Guest guest]

Hi Sheila,

HOW are we to add it after the fermenting process? This truly does not make

since to me. For Gelatin to dissolve it has to be hot. Doesn't it...or am I

missing something? I would hate to be doing something that is not right.

I personally asked Lucy R (from Lucy's Kitchen) if I could put in Gelatin into

the cold milk, before heating it for making yogurt, and she said that it should

not hurt anything. Just to make sure that I have a reliable starter so that I

know that it has fermented and the gelatin has not created a " false set up " .

Elaine did write that we *should not* add the gelatin before

fermenting. She was concerned about the chemical interactions that

could occur. If you did not see the link I can resend it. Others

add the gelatin after fermenting and it thickens up the yogurt.

If you like you can add the gelatin to a small amount of liquid

(water, juice etc.) and heat to dissolve cool the liquid.

Here is a SCD recipe that uses yogurt and gelatin. This recipe does

not call for dissolving the gelatin beforehand:

BTW, while looking up gelatin on the web I came across this great

recipe, that would be great to try, just use a legal orange

juice/homemade OJ. It sounds perfect for the summer.

Sheila,

Just wondering, that SCD recipe calls for date sugar. I've seen lots of recipes

sweetened by some form of date/date sugar in lieu of regular sugar. Is that

something you could buy or do we have to make that also?

From the BTVC website: " Date Sugar: Illegal

May be tried after being on the diet for quite sometime and symptom

free but it is not recommended. "

Better to substitute honey.
