Frozen yogurt popsicles

Today we made some popsicles out of homemade yogurt, peaches we picked, and a splash of agave nectar. Yum!

A couple weeks ago I bought this handy doohickie:

I'd read how to make my own yogurt, but it seemed a bit involved and fiddly.

It involved towels, our cooler, and checking periodically to see if it was done.

Since I use our cooler when I go grocery shopping (it's so hot, I worry about food spoiling while I'm finishing my shopping), I didn't want to tie it up elsewhere.

After making one batch in the machine, I realized it was totally worth the $30 I spent on it. Once the milk is prepared, I pour it in the bottles, set the timer, and leave it alone. So simple!  And given the cost of yogurt, it shouldn't take too long to recover the cost of the machine.

I've recently realized that if something is too much of a hassle, I won't do it.

I may intend to do it, but there's only so much I can keep track of at one time.

After 7 hours we had yummy homemade yogurt, ready for eating, adding to smoothies, and making into popsicles. I think we'll be making a lot more popsicles to help beat the heat wave we're in.
