Y'all Know that I'm a cooking from scratch kinda gal! Well here's a new recipe Finally.How to make sour cream and boy is it ever so cheap to make and no more buying sour cream any more for this old gal'now that I know how easy it is to make.If you want it for quite a few people--just double the recipe.Hope Y'all love this discovery as much as I do.I also studied up on this and found out that buttermilk is a great culture to use -so you do not have to spend money buying a culture.I also do my yogurt culture in an ice tray too.I keep this for 6 months before making a new culture.

How To Make homemade sourcream

Step 1

Use a medium size bowl

Step 2

Pour into bowl-1 cup of half and half. $1.18 at walmart for a pint size.
Step 3

Before hand you will need to purchase a quart of buttermilk and fill up one ice tray with buttermilk to freeze into cubes.Then pop out and put into a good freezer baggie.
Step 4

Now to your one cup of half and half add 2 ice cubes just as they are.Let this bowl sit out on the counter top for two days,can swish around bowl.The buttermilk acid keeps spoilage away so don,t worry!
Step 5

You do have to keep a clean dish towel covering this.After two days-guess what you have made?Beautiful sour cream.And you do not have to order cultures to make it.I have studied this out for you and done the work and will post a picture.That has been stirred up.Wish I would not have stirred up until after picture but alas I did.
