CHEESE FROM THE DESERT... February 23, 2007 12:36 AM

It has been said that cheese was discovered in the desert.  It is believed that it was a gift from Allah.
In nomadic communities milk is often kept in bags made from goat stomach's.  Given the heat from the desert and the motion of the traveling the natural rennet was in the goat's stomachs, curds were formed and this is the first cheese.

HOMEADE YOGURT... February 23, 2007 10:03 PM

HOMEADE YOGURT (4 Quarts)
     
This is an ancient way of preserving milk. From this came cheese and other cooking sauces. These were common to desert life. Yogurt is
one of the easiest dishes to make contrary to what you may think.
You do not need special equipment and it is far superior and less
expensive than the products on the shelves of supermarkets.

The yogurt I make is delicious! Blend 6 Cups of water, 1 1/2 Cups
of non-instant powdered milk, a large can of evaporated milk, and
3 Tablespoons of commercial yogurt (or the last batch you made).
Be sure that the yogurt you use has live cultures. I put this mixture in jars and set it in a large pan of warm water.  I preheat my oven to 250 degrees and sit the pan of yogurt jars in the oven. I turn off the oven and shut the oven door, by morning I have wonderful yogurt!
In the summer time if you live in a hot climate put it in the sun.
You can tell by the consistency when it is done.

Homeade yougurt is much sweeter than commercial yogurt and smoother.
I use it in cooking and it is good sweetened with honey also.
If you are nervous about making it this way there are many yogurt
makers and they are not expensive.
