sour cream

[Dewi]

got no soured cream - can I just add lemon juice ?

[warpig3]

To cream ? Yes, but very little and taste until you get it just right.

Add a few drops of lemon juice to cream and leave at room temp for 20 mins before using.

Saves money on buying readymade sour cream.....

i dont understand hw it saves money - you have to buy cream AND a lemon, rather than just cream

[natalie_1982]

Maybe because you would have to buy cream AND sour cream otherwise, and soured cream is more expensive than a lemon or lemon juice that you probably already have in the cupboard?

Thanks all

I put a few drops of lemon juice, ( I always have a small bottle of Sicilian lemon juice in the fridge in case of unexpected visitors from southern parts ), into some double cream, stirred it and left it for 30 mins.

Perfect soured cream !

No extra costs involved - would probably ended up throwing away the double cream in a week or so anyway.

is that all soured cream is then?
