Creme Fraiche

Ingredients:
cream, fluid, heavy whipping
milk, buttermilk, fluid, cultured, lowfat

Directions:
Into a clean glass jar pour: 1 cup heavy cream (do not use ultra-pasteurized).
Add and stir well: 1 tablespoon cultured buttermilk.
Cover the jar loosely and let the cream sit at room temperature for 24 hours or so, or until the cream thickens.
The time this takes will depend on the ambient room temperature.
When thickened, cover the jar tightly and store in the refrigerator.
Creme fraiche will continue to thicken and become tangier as it ages.
Stir thick creme fraiche to thin it.
If very thick it can be thinned with milk or water.
Creme fraiche may be stored for up to 10 days in the refrigerator.
