Method for making yogurt in a slow cooker that is more nutritious, lower in carbs and more probiotically active than any store brands.
Add milk to Vita-Clay pot and stir in the plain whole milk yogurt.
Put on the lid and turn on the yogurt setting.
Leave for 24 hours. Note: If you are using the larger Vita-Clay models, you will have to reset the timer after 9 hours. The medium-sized and small slow cooker model (this is the one shown in the photo above), will continuously warm the milk at 110 F/ 43 C for 24 hours without resetting the timer.
When the yogurt is finished, turn off the Vita-Clay and leave on the counter until room temperature. If making fruit yogurt, spoon in the optional jam and blend with a handheld blender. Enjoy some warm ... it's amazing!
Place the pot in the refrigerator and chill for 2 hours or longer.
Transfer the yogurt into a glass mason jar and store in the refrigerator.
I recommend using fruit jam that does not contain added sugar.
Be sure to reserve 5 tablespoons of your finished yogurt to start the next batch!
