Ingredients
8-10
oz.
(250ml) good quality heavy whipping cream (avoid UHT or Ultra-pasteurized)
2
Tablespoons
(30ml) high quality sour cream
Instructions
Add cream to a pint sized (or larger) jar.
Spoon sour cream and mix thoroughly.
Secure jar lid and shake gently for 1-2 minutes until cream thickens. Stop before it "breaks", otherwise you'll end up making butter and buttermilk!
Burp lid, then let it ferment at room temperature (ideally 75°F/24°C) about 24 hours.
Stir contents and taste. If it needs more souring, let it ferment another day or two.
Store in refrigerator with lid on.
