YOGURT MacALISTER
A perfect nibbling companion to shortbread is Yogurt
MacAlister:
Using a home yogurt maker, put one heaping tablespoon of
commercial yogurt (plain, not pasteurized) into each glass
container, cover with caps and lid. Heat "starter" in their
glasses for 10 minutes with several heavy towels wrapped around
the yogurt maker. Mix enough milk to fill the glasses (normal-
ly six times 8 ounces = 1.5 quarts) from instant nonfat dry
milk fortified with vitamins A & D. Alba is an excellent
brand. Stir constantly while gently heating the milk and heat
to no more than 120 degrees(110 degrees is perfect!). Mix a little milk with
each of the starter batches in the glasses, then add more milk,
stir and fill the glasses a little short of the top, mixing the
starter in completely. Replace the lids and the cover and heat
for 8 to 12 hours with towels covering the heater and no
peeking inside. The longer you heat the mixture, the tarter
the mix (due to whey formation). Using too rich a milk mixture
also makes tart whey. Although whey is nourishing, most folks
discard it or feed it to the hogs. Remove yogurt from maker
and set for 10 minutes. Carefully add one tablespoon of
blended blended Scotch whiskey (Sandy MacAlister brand from
Ralph's on the West Coast is perfect). Blend the whiskey
throughout carefully with a thin rod to avoid breaking down the
yogurt texture. Chill in refrigerator and serve at your
leisure with shortbread; perfect companions.
