Re: Did I ruin the yogurt?

[Guest guest]

Hi....

Our SCD yogurt is supposed to be fermented for 24 hours. I wouldn't recommend

going past 30 hrs. I'm surprised that Lucy's instructions say up to 34 hours.

(Anyone care to comment further on this? Charlene? Mimi?)

I do think it is *probably* okay to eat.... although I really am not sure about

that. I do think that much of the good flora will have probably already bitten

the dust. You might want to reserve this for something that will be baked....

cheesecake, maybe?

I'm sure you won't do that again! We've all done it, though! My trick is to

always make my yogurt at night.... just before bedtime. Then, it's ready right

before I go to bed the next night. If it's " done " at any other time of the day,

I am far more likely to forget about it.... or to not be home right when the 24

hrs are up, due to some forgotten appointment or last-minute errand.

I put a sticky note on my bathroom mirror that says " YOGURT!!! " .... and

sometimes another one on the cabinet door just above the yogurt maker. If I'm

not too bleary-eyed, I figure I will at least see the little red light still

glowing on the counter top, after I turn out the kitchen light to head for bed.

More than once, I've sat bolt upright in bed just as I was drifting off.... and

gasped " OH, NO!! I forgot the YOGURT!! " ... and ran back down to take it out and

pop it in the fridge.

Did I ruin the yogurt?

I have the yogurt maker from Lucy's kitchen shop and it says to leave

the yogurt in 24 to 34 hours. I forgot and left it in 36 hours.

Should I throw it out or is it still ok to eat but the good bacteria

qualities are gone?

Thanks,

I remember either Carol or Marilyn telling me the first time I let my yogurt go

way too long that it would be OK to use it for cooking, frozen yogurt,

ect...just don't plan on there being any good flora left. BTW, I forgot to put

my yogurt in the frig before bed last night, so it didn't go in until this

morning...probably about 36 hours. I was not happy about it at all.

Meleah,

Cheer up :-)

It is not a tragedy to have to make a batch of ice cream from the yogurt that

was

incubated too long. Cooking with yogurt kills all the good guys, Freezing only

some and

fermenting it too long kills some but not all.

No sense feeling remorse over one batch. I just made a double and it is so runny

and

tastes too tart, but I added honey and nut butter to it as a dessert, used some

in the

tomato soup and tried dripping some.
