Ingredients
1
pint
heavy whipping cream
room temperature
1
packet
sour cream starter culture
Instructions
Pour your room-temperature heavy whipping cream into a quart jar.
Whisk in a packet of sour cream culture until it's dissolved, then put on the lid.
Put the jar in a warm place, and let it sit for 1-2 days until you have soured cream. In some areas or in cooler temperatures, it may take longer.
Once the cream thickens, and each day after, smell and taste it. When it tastes sour, it’s done.
Store your homemade sour cream in the refrigerator. Give it a good stir before each use.
