Yogurt without a Yogurtmaker

mioliere

Hi everyone. I still haven't tried the yoghurt yet because time has just run away from me today, but I feel a bit daft mentioning Hug FW's oven chips and not posting how he makes them, so here goes:

Hugh FW's Home-made Oven Chips

Peel potates and cut into fairly chunky chips. Bring to the boil in a saucepan and boil for 8 minutes. Drain.

In a hot oven (about 190 degrees) heat a good layer of oil (I use sunflower) in a roasting pan. Tip the par-boiled chips into the hot oil, spreading them out. Cook in the oven for 45 minutes. Turn every so often. Drain on kitchen paper and serve.

Enjoy!

Of all the various methods I've tried over the years, this has proved to be the best.

I too saw HFW yogurt and was very impressed. I was wondering ..(this may sound silly) If you use skimmed milk do you get the same results ie yogurt but a low fat version?? im on weight watchers at the moment and really want to try this without sabotaging my diet

I'll get some skimmed in the next few days and give it a go, I'll let you know the results

Another quick question please, I was going to use one of our flasks. do I need to concern myself with the fact that its had tea and coffee in it? Washed out after each use of course.

if you have any doubts about any residue linda
get an eggshell, crush, little warm water and shell in the flask
lid on and shake
rinse

brings flasks up gleaming

talking about HFW (sorry for thread hyjack)
has anyone tried his crispy pancake recipe?
reading it today and want to give it a go
(not fussed on his fillings but can make my own)
just wondered if anyone had any pointers?

Does anyone have the recipe that he used for the crumble in the fruit programme. I think he called it a "frumble". We have a glut of apples this year and I thought that DH might eat stewed apple if had something more interesting mixed with it.

I make lots of homemade yoghurt and put the flask in the airing cupboard overnight - has worked well for the last couple of years!
I never had much luck with skimmed milk, so just use full fat.

(although i have to say, with the advent of supermarkets 'basic' ranges, you can now get 500ml cartons of plain natural yoghurt for around 45p/50p, so you have to work out if its worth it from a money saving point of view.)

I put a couple of spoonfuls of blackberry jam in with crumble, to give it purpleness.

You can freeze or bottle apple too. I'm using our bottled apples already as the ones off the tree have gone.

I think *I know the answer to this one, but can it be frozen in batches?

*I think the answer will be, yes it freezes, as in nearly everything can be, but not great to eat afterwards.
