Have you ever tried it? How does it taste? Just wondering. Saw a post on a blog about it.

Love it!
Great on scones with jam, but the stuff they sell here at the market in the little jars is not very good compared to fresh English clotted cream. It's sort of like a very thick whipped cream, but more buttery(?). It's not sweet. I have a recipe for faux clotted cream in one of my tea books, I'll see if I can find it for you-
"Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world."

I agree, Jessie. The name didn't make it sound too appetizing at all. I thought Heather was cleaning out her fridge and this was something she found waaaaay in the back ;)
I'd be interested to see a recipe; just out of curiosity.

Heather, i had it for the first time in England in 1977 and have been hooked ever since. I buy imported for special occasions and make a Faux version for everyday...
My favorite faux recipe comes from a PAcific Northwest tearoom guidebook I own. Want it?

thought you might, so i went and found book with recipe, however,
I remembered the wrong tea room guide as having the recipe when I wrote earlier. Oops. It is in the "A Spot Of Tea" West Coast Tea Room Guide, copyright 1997 & not "the tea rooms of the Pacific Northwest" like I had thought.
It is called "Alison's Devonshire Cream" submitted to the guide by Alison's Espresso Cafe, Huntington Beach, Calif.
~"Combine one cup of heavy cream and one tablespoon of buttermilk in a saucepan over medium heat & heat to about 90 degrees. Pour into a glass jar, cover lightly with a piece of waxed paper and set in a warm place, 65-70 degrees (near your MaryJane's sourdough 'mother' would be great, if you are making bread the MaryJane way!), for 12 -20 hours until thickened. Cover with a tight fitting lid and refrigerate for at least six hours. Here at Alison's, we like to add a touch of confectioner's sugar and whip slightly. It can be refigerated for 2 weeks. Enjoy with a freshly baked scone." (or MaryJane artisan bread or budget mix biscuits!)

Ahhhh, a subject close to my heart. (or should I say my hips!)
Serve it on scones with jam but see if you can find an English recipe on-line for the scones because American scones are totally different from English ones. English scones are cut with a biscuit cutter and have currants in them and are much lighter.
Enjoy!

We love clotted cream, but since it goes straight to my tummy, I don't buy it very often. It is delicious with scones. My husband loves it when I have some for my homemade scones. We have a Irish grocery store by our house, so once in awhile I stop in and pick some up. It's too expensive at other stores.

it tastes like your best wish...
it tastes better than whipped cream because it is naturally thick
it tastes better than butter because who would put butter on hot chocolate? (Oops, I hope i have not unwittingly offended someone who puts butter on the hot cocoa...sorry) But clotted cream? You bet I'd put it in my hot cocoa & my Irish Coffee...
it tastes better than ice cream because the freezing dulls the flavors...ever notice how much tastier melted icecream is?
it tastes better than creme freche (sorry for misspelling...) or sour cream because it is naturally sweeter and thicker...
it tastes better than pizza ---HUH? just seeing if you are paying attention...

Can you use realcream from raw cow milk? Or will it turn to butter when whipped. This sounds like how I make buttermilk, except I don't heat it.
This is a totally different question, but I think of lemon curd when I think of scones. Anyone ever tried lemom curd?

yes iv'e tried lemon curd! Yummy and even more fattening than clotted cream, I think, if you can believe it. But it is too sweet for my verging on hypoglycemic self. Delish nonetheless. I make it now and again anyway. easy. Especially this recipe from the KOA, which is really good...
British Lemon Curd Submitted to KOA by: Nancy Zengen - Tampa, FL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ingredients
1/2 c sugar
1 egg
3 Tbsp lemon juice (or RealLemon juice)
4 Tbsp butter
Directions: Mix all ingredients together in saucepan and heat until boiling. Pour into 8 oz glass jar. ENJOY!

The only things i will add are 1. that it must be refigerated & does not keep for long. so don't make tons. It doesn't can well either. If i make it and give it as a gift, I make a note of the expiration date, so my friends don't think it is like my canned pickles which keep forever...
And, 2. i put fine lemon zest in too!
Have no idea bout the real cream from raw cows milk question...looking forward to hearing what the answer is to that...

That looks good and easy. Thanks, Karen. I love anything lemon. And I've made the creme freche, too. I bought this book at a resale book store awhile ago called the dairy cookbook by Laurence and Giles Laurendon. It's all about dairy and has lots of great pictures. Of cows, too. Anyway, I'll have to try the clotted cream, too.

I make lemon curd....yum!
My mom and dad have a lemon tree (not meyers), and then a friend gave us a bag of meyers too.......
I can't wait to make lemon curd (I am waiting until we have guests over).
