Directions
In a saucepan, gently warm the heavy cream until it's approximately 105°F. Be careful not to overheat.
Remove the cream from heat and stir in the buttermilk.
Transfer the mixture to a jar and cover it. Let it stand at room temperature (around 70 to 75 degrees) for 8 to 24 hours, or until the cream thickens.
Stir well before covering and refrigerating. After chilling, the cream will become even thicker.
The creme fraîche is now ready to use. It can be kept refrigerated for up to 10 days.
