homemade essentials: organic sour cream

Recipe by

This is not the kind of recipe you make on the spur of the moment. For example, say you need some buttermilk, but you do not have any; however, you do have milk and some lemon juice. You mix them together and 5-minutes later, BANG, buttermilk. In this recipe, you add the ingredients and not 5-minutes, but two long days later you have sour cream… really, really, good sour cream. You make this recipe because you plan ahead. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
