Mandarina, sorry it took me almost a month to update you on the yogurt quest. We have been saving a few $ every week but I must admit that we're eating less yogurt now than before. I need to spend more time at home to diversify the flavors. I have been using part-skim milk and Canderel sugar substitute in crystals. I'm not yet sure if it is good or bad to use artificial sweetener. The difference in calories is not that significant. I'm using less that 1 teaspoon per jar, so maybe I'll switch back to regular sugar, don't know yet.That said, the vanilla yogurt turned out very well. I have been freezing it to make mini-yogurt bites and that, at least, has been a hit with Didier (at least I think so). I takes one jar of yogurt to make one tray, but somehow having it in bite sizes makes it feel like there is more. Also, you can have one or two as mini-snack. The hearts come out prettier but the one in the pic below was already melting by the time I took the picture. The red stuff behind the heart is gazpacho. I'm addicted to it.

I love the yogurt hearts! They look delicious.
So do you have to add the active cultures?
You save one of the yogurts you made and mix it with milk for the next batch. The cultures are good for some 10 batches. Afterwards, you have to buy one active culture yogurt to mix it in. I don't think we can find the cultures alone here. Plus it is easier with the store yogurt :)
