Homemade Lemon and Peach Yogurt

Yesterday Michael came over and we made 6 quarts of plain yogurt. Today he brought his family over to finish the yogurt. We made a lemon curd (Michael's favorite yogurt is lemon) and added it to 3 quarts of yogurt. We also added a packet of plain gelatin. To make it a little bit thicker.

We also made a peach curd using the syrup from the canned peaches. Most of those we made fruit on the bottom yogurt. With 1 quart plus half a pint of mixed peach. Here are the pictures.

Recipe for lemon curd:
Easy Lemon Curd

Ingredients

1 cup cold water
4 Tablespoons (¼ cup) cornstarch
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 Tablespoons butter
3 drops yellow food coloring (optional)

Directions

Combined cold water with cornstarch. Mix together sugar, salt, lemon juice, lemon zest in heavy bottomed saucepan. Pour in cornstarch mixture.

Bring to a rolling boil and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add butter.

Chill or cool before using.

We doubled the recipe of lemon curd to add to our three quarts of homemade yogurt.

For the peach yogurt we used a number 10 can of peaches. Using the same recipe as the lemon curd replace the lemon juice and water with the syrup from the peaches. Add only one cup of sugar instead of two. (Double recipe again). Mix the cornstarch with 1/2 cup water. Optional food coloring: two drops red, three drops yellow.
