Fruit Yogurt Cups
Homemade fruit sauce combined with creamy yogurt in pre-portioned cups make for a delicious, healthy and convenient breakfast on-the-go.
Servings: 5
Equipment
- 5 Half-pint (8 oz) glass jars with lids
- saucepan
- Mixing bowl
- Immersion blender
- Canning funnel (optional)
Ingredients
- 5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cups fresh or frozen fruit loosely packed
- 1-2 tbsp sweetener like honey, sugar, or maple syrup
Instructions
- Clean and prep your fruit by cutting off stems and leaves, removing pits and seeds, and slicing into small chunks.
- Combine the chopped fruit with a spoonful or two of sweetener in a saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the fruit is soft and the sugar is dissolved.
- Lower the heat to medium and allow the fruit sauce to simmer until 1/3 to 1/2 of the liquid has reduced. This will take about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Once the liquid has reduced, remove the pan from heat and blend with an immersion blender to your preferred consistency. Allow sauce to cool.
- After the fruit sauce has cooled, mix it with the Greek yogurt.
- Taste the yogurt to see if it's sweet enough. If it's too sweet, mix in more plain yogurt until it's just right. Drizzle in more sweetener if the yogurt isn't sweet enough.
- Evenly distribute the yogurt mixture among the jars.
- Seal the yogurt jars with lids and store in the refrigerator until you're ready to eat.
- Add granola, fruit, or other toppings if you wish, just before eating.
