Tasty Tuesday - Homemade Sour Cream

I recently tried making some homemade sour cream and it was super easy! It is very similar to homemade yogurt. All you need is 3 Tbsp of store bought or previously made sour cream and 8 oz of cream (Twin Brook Creamery cream is best!). Gently stir the sour cream into the cream and then let it sit on the counter for 24 hours. Put it in the fridge to chill for a couple hours and it is ready to go! When you have used up all but about 3 Tbsp, add some more cream and repeat.
This is really tasty with chips and salsa, Taco soup, or Crockpot Chicken Tacos!

Thank you!!!; March 31, 2011 at 9:52 PM
