Method

  • In a jar, mix the cream and lemon juice (vinegar) together, then pour in the milk
  • Screw a lid on tightly and shake well
  • Remove the lid and put a clean piece of kitchen paper over the jar and secure it with a rubber band
  • Leave it on the counter overnight (up to 24 hours) for it to set
  • After 24 hours it should be quite firm
  • Give it a stir and cover it with a jar lid
  • It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks
  • Notes: Because there are no artificial thickeners, your homemade sour cream may be thinner than commercial brands you may be used to so don’t panic, it will taste just fine
  • Use a jar big enough to accommodate the mix, leaving a bit of room for movement, about 5cm at the top
