sour cream

[jmarley]

Does someone have a recipe for sour cream using a starter? im using a meso aromatic starter for cheve and fromage blanc.  it says i can use it for sour cream too but im just not sure how to do it.  im new to cheesmaking have had success with cream type cheeses but thats about it.

You add it to heated cream. That's it. Let it culture same as for chevre, but if you use cream, you'll get sour cream.

I culture the cream with the same amount as I would the milk, and leave it in a warm spot until it is thick, 12-24 hours depending on temperature. I've also taken some of this sour cream and made butter with it. High yield, nice flavor. I've used Flora Danica, MM100, and commercial cultured buttermilk; MM100 is my favorite of the three.
