It was really easy! You should definitely try it out.

We did use heavy cream, but I was thinking of using half and half. Maybe next time? Let us know if you try something different.

We used cultured buttermilk, not the “real” stuff, since we were needed the culture to get things going. I doubt it matters what kind you use, as long as it has active cultures.

I’m not sure if sour cream is endless like yogurt, but I have read that buttermilk is. I’m planning on following these instructions soon – http://hipgirlshome.com/blog/2011/1/24/make-your-own-buttermilk.html

Take care,
Lindsay

Thanks for the inspiration! I have a few questions for you ;) — 1) I assume you used heavy cream for this? 2) Did you use cultured buttermilk, or was it the real by-product-of-making-butter buttermilk? 3) Do you think it matter which buttermilk I used? I don’t have a local cultured buttermilk source. 4) (OK – I have a lot of questions!) Do you think sour cream is like yogurt in that once you have it going you can use some from one batch to “start” the next??
How exciting!!
Wendy
