Guest guest Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Jodi, How did you make yours? I've seen various versions and I made some this week. It was a friggin disaster. It formed a very hard thick top layer, the rest was water and impossible to mix up. So I was eating watery yogurt with hard clumps of the top layer. So I'm curious how you made yours and what the texture was.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Shake the coconut milk up a few times during this process in a mostly vain attempt to keep it from separating while fermenting. Hm. My yogurt containers are plastic and not air tight, so shaking them would yield a kitchen dripping with coconut milk. I would rather not make yogurt in plastic anyways, but that's what my salton yogurt makers came with. It just occurred to me that I really don't need to use the containers that the makers came with though, as long as what I use fits in them. Do mason jars work for fermenting yogurt? Are the metal lids okay? Mara, I'm guessing you have some sort of a lid if you are able to shake your yogurt. What do you use?

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Okay, forget my last question on this. I just saw Mara's recipe. That's the one I used. I must have done something wrong.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 At 01:55 PM 4/24/2010, you wrote: Nut milks have been encouraged but for some reason coconut yogurt not so much.. kinda is annoying since some of us have nut issues but not coconut issues. I think part of the problem was that people hadn't worked out a good method of making the coconut yogurt. Maybe just not as stubborn as Mara, which is surprising, 'cause those Pecanbread moms are darned stubborn! I vaguely recall, from the early days of what is now Pecanbread (back when it was Elaine's Children), was people trying to make coconut yogurt and having it fail repeatedly. That could be one reason for discouraging it. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the metal lids okay? Mara, I'm guessing you have some sort of a lid if you are able to shake your yogurt. What do you use?Since I've been making it in the oven, I just use glass jars with plastic covers - thoughmetal covers work too. So mason jars would work fine. If you use the plastic containers, you could just cover with plastic wrapbefore you put the container lid on, for a tighter, more air tightfit.Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 No, you didn't do anything wrong. It separates, the fat goes to the top and thewater stays on the bottom. That's why you shakeperiodically. But the whole thing ferments andthen when you add the gelatin to it, the wholething becomes gelatin, so you mix the top with the bottom for a serving. If the top wasliterally too hard to break through, you added too muchgelatin. Or perhaps you didn't add gelatin at all,which I don't recommend. MaraOkay, forget my last question on this. I just saw Mara's recipe. That's the one I used. I must have done something wrong.
