Title: Creme Fraiche
Post by: achookwoman on November 29, 2009, 10:29:59 am

Stir 1 tablespoon of Buttermilk into 2 cups of sweet fresh cream.  Can do this in the T.M.   gentle reverse for 20 secs.
Tip into a bowl and cover with a cloth.     Sit at room temp. for 24 to 36 hours,   depending on how tasty you want it.
Stir it by hand until it is very smooth.  It will have thickened.
Cover and refrigerate,  will last for about 2 weeks.
It will become more tangy the longer you keep it,  but you can add more fresh cream to extend the culture

We ate it with Maggie Beer's brown sugar and fig pavlova.

Great work chookie  :-* :-* :-*  I used to make this in my Decor yoghurt maker - the recipes for "cultured" buttermilk and creme fraiche were favourites.  Memories.

Pretty sure when it says 'pure' on the carton it doesn't have anything added. I get norco or pauls pure cream.  ;)

Paul, Fresh pure cream is available at all Coles and Woolies here. No gelatin in it.

Fresh sweet or I think Pure cream is best.    However I have made it with gelatin added cream.    It doesn't take on the culture from the Buttermilk as readily, but gives a light pleasant tang.
