Homemade Sour Cream/Method 1

1. 1

   For the best results, bring the cream and buttermilk to room temperature by letting them sit on the counter for 1 to 2 hours before you begin.

2. 2

   Place the cream in a medium bowl or a glass-lined thermos.

3. 3

   Stir in the buttermilk and cover the mixture tightly with plastic wrap (or cover the thermos).

4. 4

   Leave the mixture in a warm place for 24 hours, until thickened to a custard like consistency. Stir to blend, and refrigerate at least 24 hours before using. The sour cream may continue to thicken in the refrigerator.
