For a richer flavor, use organic, pasture-raised heavy cream. Ensure your jar and utensils are clean to prevent unwanted bacteria from affecting the souring process. If you prefer a thicker sour cream, add a tablespoon of buttermilk to the mixture along with the milk and vinegar. Do not seal the jar tightly during the 24-hour incubation period, as the fermentation process releases gases. The sour cream will continue to thicken as it chills. Use within 1 week for best flavor and quality.

Feb 27, 2024Make sure to use very fresh heavy cream. My first batch was a bit off, but the second one with fresher cream was amazing.
