Yogurt

Many Macedonians, my parents included, make homemade yogurt every few weeks. The flavor and texture of homemade yogurt is so beautiful, and it contains no preservatives. Making your own yogurt may sound intimidating, but it is really quite easy. My father taught me to test the temperature with a finger: “If you can hold your pinkie in the milk for 10 seconds before it gets too hot, that’s how you know it’s ready.” An instant-read thermometer takes away the guesswork.
