Homemade Sour Cream
I've made sour cream before but I didn't really like it. It came out like thick milk and just didn't taste like anything but sour milk. So I researched it a little more and found out it is super simple, it just takes a little planning ahead.
Things you'll need:
Glass jar with lid
vinegar
cream
(you can use half and half, light or whipping)
The measurements do not have to be precise it's that easy.
I used about 1 cup of cream and added it to that jar. Then I added about 1/4 cup of vinegar. I put the lid on and shook it real well and let it sit on the counter for about 24 hours. Then I stuck it in the refrigerator. I didn't need it for about 3 days, but you could use it immediately after the 24 hours if you wanted, but if you aren't going to cook with it, it just tastes better cold.
This is what it looks like about a week later! Light, fluffy, and yummy.
We used it to put on taco salad and tonight I'm going to make beef stroganoff with it. We really really like it! This is definitely worth trying.
I'm going to have to try this, especially when we get out to AZ and the cost of groceries is higher.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try this! That looks like real sour cream. My family and I are missionaries in Kenya, and we have basically done without sour cream for 5 years, substituting homemade ranch dressing for sour cream because the sour cream here is runny like you said . . . like sour milk. I am excited to try your way and get thick sour cream. I also want to try some of your Nepali recipes that you have on here.
