Homemade sour cream {2 ingredients}
|
Hello Reader, I never ate my first batch of homemade sour cream. I was a few years into making my own sauerkraut when I decided to make sour cream. It is simple to make. Stir a spoonful of sour cream into two cups of cream and leave it in a warm spot overnight to thicken. Then eat. Easier said than done. Something creeped me out about eating cream that had been sitting on the top of my fridge for 12+ hours. I did get past the fear and now enjoy my naturally cultured sour cream. You will too. Simple Instructions for Delicious Homemade Sour Cream {2 Ingredients} It's a popular post of mine that sets you up to make your first batch of sour cream, which you can then enjoy... without fear... without tossing. https://www.makesauerkraut.com/homemade-sour-cream/ I find myself making sour cream more often during the winter months, when our meals turn hearty and comforting. There’s something about a cool, tangy dollop melting into a hot bowl of chili or stew that feels especially satisfying on a cold day. I’ll spoon it over chili, swirl it into thick beef or lentil stews, add it to baked potatoes, and top tacos or burrito bowls with a generous scoop. Yum! 😋 Discover the joy of making your own tangy, creamy, and preservative-free sour cream at home. With just two ingredients (🥄 starter + cream 🐄) and an ancient fermentation (culturing) method, you can enjoy a healthier, additive-free alternative to store-bought versions. Thank you, bodacious bacteria. 🦠 You never cease to amaze me. Truly magical. ✨

Hi Reader, Spring vegetables are starting to show up in the markets… The days are getting warmer, though I did wear my down jacket and wool toque on yesterday's walk.

If you’ve never tried fermenting radishes before, this is a great place to start: 👉 https://www.makesauerkraut.com/fermented-radish-carrots-vietnamese/ This recipe combines radishes with carrots for a lightly...
Hi Reader, Do you love Kimchi and want to learn to make it instead of buying it? The price of those expensive jars does add up.

Between unfamiliar ingredients, fermentation times, and all the different recipes online… it can feel like a lot. 👉 And before you go, I have a quick one-question quiz at the end—I’d love to hear what’s been holding you back.
