HOW LONG CAN GREEK YOGURT SIT OUT RECIPES

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Select Yogurt function and press Adjust button until Boil appears on display. Pour milk into the pot. Close and lock the lid; set timer for 45 minutes. Check with a thermometer until temperature reaches 185 degrees F (85 degrees C).
• Remove the pot and place on a cooling rack until temperature reaches 110 degrees F (45 degrees C). Take 1 cup milk and mix with plain yogurt and vanilla extract in a bowl; whisk until well combined. Pour back into the pot and reselect Yogurt function. Close and lock lid. Set timer for 9 hours.
• Strain yogurt into a bowl with a fine-mesh strainer or nut bag and store in a refrigerator in sterilized glass jars.

Steps:

• Peel cucumbers and dice. Put them in a colander and sprinkle with the tablespoon of salt (draws water out). Cover with a plate and sit something heavy on top. Let sit for 30 minute Drain well and wipe dry with a paper towel.
• In food processor or blender, add cucumbers, garlic, lemon juice, dill and/or mint, and a few grinds of black pepper. Process until well blended, then stir into yogurt. Taste before adding any extra salt, then salt if needed. Place in refrigerator for at least two hours before serving so flavors can blend.
• This will keep for a few days in the refrigerator, but you will need to drain off any water and stir each time you use it.
• ** If you can’t find the thicker Greek Yogurt Cheese, you can use regular, plain yogurt that is either full fat or low fat. To thicken, spoon yogurt into cheese cloth that has been quadrupled. Draw the corners of the cloth up and tie together. Suspend above a bowl for 2 hours so that water can drip out. The consistency of the yogurt should be like that of sour cream.
• You can skip this draining process, if you want, but you will have a moderately messier, runnier result.
