Pressure Cooker Yogurt in the Instant Pot

Directions

1. 1
   Sterilize the Jars
2. 2
   Before you begin making yogurt, use the Sterilize or Steam setting to clean your jars and lids. (If you are using a 6-quart pressure cooker, you'll need to sterilize 6 jars. If you are using an 8-quart pressure cooker, you'll need to sterilize 8 jars.)
3. 3
   Pour 1 cup water in the cooking pot. Place a trivet on the bottom and balance the jars on it. (I used our mesh racks on top of the jars to rest the lids on.) Lock the lid in place. Select Steam and set the cook time for 15 minutes. When the cook time ends, finish with a quick pressure release.
4. 4
   When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Use silicone mitts or a jar lifter to remove the jars to a cooling rack and allow to air dry.*
5. 5
   Incubate the Yogurt
6. 6
   In a large mixing bowl (preferably with a spout), gently whisk together yogurt and ½ cup Fairlife milk. Slowly, creating minimal bubbles, whisk until the mixture is smooth and no lumps remain. Gently whisk in the remaining milk.
7. 7
   Pour the milk mixture into six (if using a 6-quart) or eight (if using an 8-quart) 8-ounce canning jars, dividing equally. Screw the lids on loosely.
8. 8
   Place a trivet on the bottom of the pressure cooking pot. Add 2 cups water to the inner pot. Carefully balance the filled yogurt jars on the trivet.

    Prior to serving, remove the lid and give the contents a good stir to ensure that the yogurt is well mixed and an even consistency.

    Remember: This is a tart, unsweetened Greek yogurt, so be sure to serve it with fresh fruit, your favorite granola, or a dollop of a sweet compote or jam.
