HOMEMADE YOGURT IN A COOLER!

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm milk to 185 degrees, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
• Add dry milk to warmed milk and whisk until dissolved.
• Place pan in a large bowl with ice water and cool milk down to 110 degrees.
• Place 3 T yogurt in a small bowl and mix with about 1/2 cup of warm milk.
• Pour pan of warm milk into a one quart jar, then add yogurt mixture.
• Partially fill a 1 gallon drink cooler with 110 degree water (I use one with the spout in the lid, but any small cooler will work).
• Place jar in cooler and make sure the water comes up to just below the lid.
• Cover cooler and place in a warm, sunny spot in your yard for 6-8 hours! The sun will help the yogurt stay nice and warm while it incubates.
• Refridgerate and enjoy!

SPICY TROPICAL COOLERS

Steps:

• Make the jalapeno syrup: Bring the sugar, 2/3 cup water and half of the jalapeno slices to a simmer in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, muddle the remaining jalapeno slices in a large liquid measuring cup with a wooden spoon. Add the pineapple juice; let sit while the syrup cools.
• Strain the jalapeno syrup and pineapple juice mixture into a pitcher. Stir in the vodka, mango nectar and lime juice and refrigerate until ready to serve. Pour into ice-filled glasses; garnish with skewers of pineapple, jalapeno and mango.
