William Sonomas Greek Yogurt With Pears And Honey Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk, stirring occasionally, until it registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer.
• Transfer the milk to a large bowl with a pouring spout and let cool to lukewarm.
• Pour 1/4 cup of the milk into a small bowl and whisk in the yogurt starter. Whisk the starter mixture into the large bowl of milk, making sure to incorporate all of the starter.
• Pour the milk into yogurt jars, dividing evenly, and place in a yogurt maker.
• Process for 13 hours according to the manufacturers instructions.
• Line a fine-mesh sieve with coffee filters or 4 layers of cheesecloth and place over a bowl.
• Pour the yogurt into the sieve and cover with plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate until the yogurt is thick, at least 8 hours.
• Transfer the drained yogurt to a clean bowl and stir until smooth.
• If the yogurt is too thick, like cream cheese, whisk a little of the strained liquid (the whey) back into the yogurt.
• To serve, divide the yogurt among 4 shallow bowls. Top with the pears and nuts and drizzle with the honey.

Steps:

• Mix yogurt and vanilla. In 4 glasses, alternate layers of yogurt, then walnuts, then honey. Start with yogurt, end with honey.
