How to Make Homemade Frozen Yogurt

The weather here in Oregon has been so strange. The summer got a late start, being cool and wet into July. And now, just days after school has started around here, it is 98 degree out!
I know most bloggers would have posted a frozen yogurt recipe in June, but I’m feeling as unpredictable as the weather.

My frozen yogurt recipe couldn’t be simpler. It only has three ingredients: plain yogurt, cream and homemade freezer jam. I have an overabundance of freezer-jam and I didn’t even make any this year. Last year, when faced with all the lovely berries that grow here in such abundance, I… well, I just went overboard. If you do not have the same problem, I’ll give instructions for using fresh or frozen fruit.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups plain yogurt, not low-fat (I use my homemade yogurt)
  • 3/4 cup cream (heavy, whipping or my favorite: skimmed from the top of raw milk)
  • 1 cup of jam (I used strawberry) or 1 cup of chopped fruit and your preferred sweetener to taste (I’d go with 1/4 cup of honey)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon of vanilla
Instructions
  1. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor.
  2. Run until desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
  3. Place in ice-cream maker and wait until frozen.

That’ s it.  You now have a frozen yogurt not to be rivaled: sweet, tangy, rich.  (My mouth is watering just thinking about it!)
Eat with abandon, knowing in your heart that this treat is healthy enough for breakfast, but decadent enough for a wonderful dessert.
Hmm… healthy enough for breakfast… I wonder how this would be topped with my homemade granola?
I think I’ll find out tomorrow morning.
Enjoy!

      Thanks Jenni! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed (except when it is all gone).

    Soliloquy! You have no idea how big my smile is right now. I’ve missed you. Great to hear from you, even if it is only to be taunted.

  4. [...] so last week it was hot, hot, hot around here and I told you how to make homemade frozen yogurt. Well, the last couple of days things have cooled down to the mid-sixties and I am making soup. [...]
