Ingredients

  • 1 quart raw cream
  • 1 packet sour cream starter

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, pour in one quart of raw cream.
  • Sprinkle package of sour cream starter over raw cream and stir well.
  • Pour cream mixture back into jar, using a funnel. 
  • Cover with a towel or cheese cloth and leave in a warm place until the desired amount of sourness has been reached, about 12 hours.
  • Cover with a lid a store in the fridge.

Notes

  • Raw cream thickens from being in the fridge for awhile. If yours is not as thick that is okay, this recipe will still work.
  • Use a funnel to put the cream back into the jar and for easier clean up.
  • Raw cream that is skimmed from the top, and allowed to sit in the fridge, will give a much thicker result, like the one in the video.
