Creme Fraiche

-Sylvie-'s Note:

I have a lot of recipes that use creme fraiche as an ingredient, but it's sometimes not that easy to get hold of here in the Uk. I found this on the web and thought I'd share it.

• Total Time: 2 mins
• Prep Time: 2 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 cup

• 1 cup whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons buttermilk

Directions:

1. Mix both ingredients together in a glass bowl or jar.
2. Cover and allow to stand at room temperature anywhere between 8-24 hours.
3. It'll be ready when it's really thick.
4. Once it's done you can keep it in the fridge for up to 10 days.

I was given this recipe. I tried putting it in the oven with the light on. But have found that if I just put it on the counter and forget it, it is awesome. I even double the recipe. Last one I put in 2 Tablespoons of sour cream and 2 of yogurt, as I was out of buttermilk. It worked well. I believe the flavor is maybe a little more mild than with buttermilk. Love a dollop on fruit soups as well as in other dishes.

I've never had this nor have I seen this in a store. It is wonderful! It was really thick after about 18 hours and I refrigerated it in a glass jar. Thanks!
