I made yogurt in the slow cooker last night and now have some dripping from the cupboard door handle. In a muslin, i hasten to add!

Hopefully someone will give us a little more direction.

fn said:There's a great post for making homemade greek style yoghurt here using a thermos.

And it works too.  The quantity made in the slow cooker was a bit too much even for me (the straining yogurt was taken down while still very moist to be greek yogurt) and I will use the thermos version next time.

I need to buy some rennet but can only find it on line in quantities larger than I want   There must be somewhere local I can buy a small quantity!

Rennet found!  We have a local farm shop (nursery, garden centre, pick your own etc) called Secretts in Milford, nr Godalming.  It is the kind of shop where you find all the food things you didn't know existed or thought had gone forever.  I knew rennet was used to make junket so I looked in the dessert section and there it was, £1.95 for a 150ml bottle.  I also picked up some anchovy sauce to try.
