Sure, you can buy it in the store, but where's the fun in that?! Especially when it's just as easy and certainly cheaper to make it at home.

How To Make diy crème fraîche

Step 1

Stir the buttermilk into heavy cream in a non-reactive container (like glass or stainless steel) that has a lid. Can use a leftover quart canning jar!

Step 2

Leave the container partially covered, and let it sit at room temperature until it's as thick as you like it--about 8 - 24 hours. Stir the contents and refrigerate. Will keep for up to two weeks.
