Homemade Fruit Yogurt

Did this one - also from Better Food for Kids - a few days ago with my daughter (to get rid of a bunch of plain yogurt left over from the pasta salad recipe in this post) and it was a huge hit.  Definitely doing it again.

Homemade Fruit Yogurt

Makes 2 cups (500 mL)

Ingredients

- 1 cup raspberries or sliced strawberries or sliced peaches
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- Fresh fruit, such as orange sections, banana chunks, apple or pear slices

Instructions

1.  In a food processor or blender, purée fruit with sugar and orange juice until smooth.  Transfer mixture to a microwave-safe container.

2.  Microwave, covered, on High for 2 minutes or until warm and sugar is dissolved.  Cool before whisking in yogurt.  Serve as a topping or sauce or as a dip with a variety of fruit.

Notes in book also say it is good over cottage cheese, or with pancakes or waffles (my daughter loves waffles).

In the world or weird, I am also trying to get more fibre down my kid and she insisted this morning on putting bran buds in this yogurt.  And then STILL ate it.  So yeah, doing this again.
