My niece left a half a glass of milk sitting out. I just found it, and dumped it.
There was watery milk on top; but in the bottom of the glass was thick stuff that looked like sour cream.
The glass was out for about 24 hrs, maybe a little less. It didn't smell.
So was that sour cream or just nasty stuff? It was 2% milk.

If that was raw milk it would have been sour cream and I would have used it. But yeah, 2% nasty stuff for sure.

Just nasty! If you taste soured milk or cream that has just been sitting out it will be BITTER, not tangy like you expect from sour cream.

Sour cream is easy to make! Take a scoop of live sour cream from a bought container, mix with cream, leave out overnight or so, then refrigerate. The longer it sits in the refrigerator the thicker and tangier it will be (up to a month or so - throw out immediately if it becomes moldy) You need the bacteria in the store-bought sour cream (or a bought starter if you prefer) to properly culture cream and make it yummy.

Best,

Robin

Are you referring to using store purchased products for this entire recipe, or are you talking about using raw milk products, except for the store purchased sour cream as a culture?

I like to make Creme Fraiche (pronounced "crem fresh") which is European style sour cream.

1 pint good quality cream (I use raw, but I think heavy whipping cream from the store would work) but do NOT use ultrapasteurized
1 TBSP commercial buttermilk

Place cream into a clean glass jar and add the buttermilk. Stir well, cover tightly and place in a warm spot for 20 to 24 hours. (I use the top of my fridge). Then place in refrigerator to chill well and in order to stop the fermentation or culturing process.

*Save out 1 TBSP of this original batch and use it in place of the buttermilk for the next batch. You can do this several times before having to start a whole new batch with the commercial buttermilk again.
