Challenge Day 5-Homemade Sour Cream

I've always wondered if you could make sour cream yourself.  We go through so much of it here with potatoes and a lot of Mexican cooking.  Here's a recipe I've found, but I haven't tried it yet.  I'm thinking that in order for it to be cost effective, you'd probably need your own cow or goat.


 


2 cups light cream


2 T. light buttermilk


Combine in a hot glass jar, canning jar. Cover and shake gently to mix.  Let stand in a warm place for 24-48 hours until thickened.  Store in the refrigerator.  This keeps up to three weeks.


Stay warm.

thank you so much for posting that encouraging remark on my blog. I was having a down day, and you lifted my spirits so.


God bless you, and know that I am praying for you all there as well.
