Sour Cream

List of Ingredients




1 cup of fresh heavy cream
1 T sour-cream (this is where the culture comes from)


Recipe



Mix one cup of fresh cream with sour-cream. You need to keep this mixture, in whatever container you mixed it in, at about 70 degrees for 24 hours. If the top of your fridge is warm you could set it there....You can fill up a bowl with hot water and put the container in there (usually have to weight it down or it will float). After 24 hours it will have thickened considerably. (If not, the temperature was too low... just get it to 70 degrees and let it sit until it thickens). Then put it in the fridge. It is best to refrigerate it for 24 hours before using it.

Once you have made the sour cream, you can use a tablespoon of it to get your next batch going.
