Well I finally did it!

Over the weekend, I ordered the buttermilk, sour cream, cheese spread starter culture from Hoegger Supply Company.  It arrived on Wednesday.  So for the first time I made sour cream.  It was so simple and it is so delicious.  I don’t have any farm fresh milk/cream right now so I had to make it with store bought instead.

I actually purchased two pint containers of half and half on sale to use for my first sample of sour cream.  I just have to say if it is this yummy with store bought I can’t wait to use raw milk/cream!

My sour cream has passed the test of even my pickiest taste tester. 🙂  Adisyn is very cautious to try new things, but she tried it and LOVED it.

The other thing that I am so excited about is that this particular culture is reculturable, meaning that as long as we save some to make the next batch we will never run out. 🙂  How’s that for wonderful!

I am hoping to expand my knowledge in the home dairy department. I would love to quit relying on the store for many of my dairy products.

What experience do you have with home dairying?  What other things should I try?

Blessing,

Jennifer
