FROZEN YOGURT

Checking the contents of my fridge recently I discovered a few tubs of natural yogurt lurking in the back.  When I checked the use-by date it was that day.

I knew I would not get a chance to use it them and was loathe to throw them out. So I decided to find out if I could freeze them.  It turns out you can. I popped them, in their containers, into the freezer.

A few weeks later I decided to cook a curry and needed, yes, you guessed correctly, natural yogurt!  I defrosted it in the fridge overnight and gave it a good stir before adding it to my dish. Yes, the curry was delicious...

Yogurt separates when thawed from frozen, so it must be stirred well before use. You could add it to smoothies, salad dressings, cakes, buns etc.

I also learnt that you can freeze small batches in an ice-cube tray. Till next time…
