My favorite sour cream is Crème Fraiche. It’s mild in flavor, and when not fully fermented goes as well with sweet as with savory foods. I like to use it in mashed potatoes, decreasing the amount of butter and still making them so creamy and a bit tangy. It's also a great addition to creamed vegetables and and hearty winter stews.

Homemade Creme Fraiche INGREDIENTS
| INSTRUCTIONS Combine ingredients stirring slowly. Pour gently into a clean jar and cover loosely. Let it stand at room temperature overnight or for as long as 24 hours if the room is cold. You can stop the fermentation process at any time after the first 12 hours, depending on how thick or sour you want the cream to be. Refrigerate at 41°F for about 2 weeks. |
