It looks like it costs many times the cost of just buying the yogurt. Is it very much more expensive?

It might be a little bit more but a lot of sour creams actually have starches and thickeners in them so they can get away with adding milk to the cream and it will still set up. The taste is far better tho

YAY!! I'm so glad you tried it! That warms my hear!

I’m definitely going to try this one. I love sour cream mixed with hot sauce for dipping.

@@kyfarm my heavy cream cost $2.19 and I already had the yogurt. Good sour cream would cost at least that for a small container. I think it’s a sweet deal!

Wow!

I got to do this with lactose free myself thanks for the tip, much appreciated.

good to know this works with lactose-free. Thx u for posting.

Lol I think just about everything homemade is better than store bought. I got peaches for the first time this year and the flavor blew me away!

Thank you. I’m lactose intolerant and was wondering if this would work with lactose free products. Will have to give it a try now. 😀

Wow Amy thank you so much! I’m so glad they are helping you!

@@AcreHomestead vare good recipe 💔✌🏼

I agree, I also feel like the first time in my life I actually know what's in things

how was it ?😀

I appreciate that! thanks!

Make brownies. Use the warmth to make sour cream. Make another batch of brownies with sour cream in them. Use the residual heat of the oven to make your next batch of sour cream. Endless brownie cycle! (But really sour cream in desserts is very tasty! It adds a nice tanginess that helps to balance the sweet)

Never put sour cream in brownies! How much sour cream???? 🤔

@@painiacs83 It replaces some of the fat and some of the liquid, so it depends on the recipe! Sour cream is also really good in certain fruit pies and all kinds of bready desserts

Should you let the carton of whipping cream reach room temperature before adding the yogurt?

@@soleclaw6521 Good question, I was wondering the same thing. A comment from a few weeks ago asked if the cream needed to be heated and Becky replied that she uses it straight from the fridge.

Good to know. My oven light burned out years ago and couldn’t use the light method.

So do you leave it on the counter if you use the heating pad or should you still place it in the oven

Wow thanks!

Welcome back 🌻

Thank you for commenting this! My oven light is broken but I DO have an instantpot

I was wondering if you put it in the jars and then in the instant pot or just the ingredients in the instant pot? Thank you. Hope that makes sence.

@@DownSpriggLane GREAT Question!

Same here my oven light is broken and burns out replacement bulbs instantly. I will do this in my Instant pot, Can I use 1% or skim milk?

@@DownSpriggLane I would do just in the pot, but maybe in jars would work?

that sounds yummy!

That sounds yummy!!!

I would advise anyone to do their own research on whether or not to re-use canning lids or store jars for canning. Better safe than sorry.

thank yoi for letting me know. i use them for storage of dry goods.

Right. We also reused lids.. but if the get bent or have visible issues, then we use on dry jars..

I reuse mine too! So far, only had one jar go bad, but it was because the jar was chipped and I didn't notice. :) Thank you so much for what you do, you truly are inspiring. Need more people like you around. :) Keep up the good work!

I've been reusing my canning lids for 11 years now too! I did it before I ever knew you weren't supposed to. I check them for rust, dents, and rubber separation before reusing, and just to be safe I only reuse up to 3 times. After that they are used to store dry foods.

Wow thanks so much! I'm honored :)

Wow thank you

Oh man I'm so sorry to hear that. Thank you for your kind words :)

Debbie im sorry for your loss! im single too. I think its hard to follow beckys model as one person. I do think the information is valuable. Sometimes i make family sized batches of things and work things down until i cant eat that dish anymore, but i also keep simple ingredients that are healthy, cheap, very mix and match so i always have a quick meal at my fingertips no matter how much or little is on hand. No offense Becky but i am easily overwhelmed and i get decision fatigue so having that much food around is not an option for me. I know you aren't offended. I am learning from you just in tidbits of info that i can adapt to more generic situations

@@lethiapage4767 I'm a widow as well. My husband died 9 years ago. I'm 61 y/o and it's just me and my dog. I LOVE to make homemade things like yogurt, ranch dressing, so I'm excited to have this sour cream recipe. So, if recipe yield is more than I can manage to consume, I have a bestie who lost her husband this year, and I just give one to her.

Blessings to you! You could scale this down to 1/2 quart (2c) or even 1/4 a quart (1c) and even use an empty pickle jar! :D

Right? And she doesn't have to refridgerate them!! So awesome.

Oh good!

I heard butter isn't hard to do. My mom says they used to make it when they were kids.

thanks can do!!

Wow, thank you!

Yay! That’s for sharing with me :) I have friends and family like that too! That’s why KZfaq is so fun :)

My mom and sister are the same way! Store over homemade. I wondered what was wrong with me. (Clue: I don't think it's me anymore)

It's so good

thats funny! lol

Please let me know on Instagram if you have one! It’s just acre homestead! Thank you so much for sharing this with me :) it means the world :)

welcome Robyn!! i really love all this!

True.. I wish I had known back then.......... id be way ahead of the game.. im over half a century now 😳... trust me. Time jets by.. do it while young gurly... I need two new hips.. I'll never be the same... 🤜🗯🤛... git er done yo !!))

@@AcreHomestead I didn't make my own buttermilk, yogurt, sour cream, cream cheese, etc.. I had a 2.5 acre vegetable garden, I ran Oakhill Kennels & I raised & trained & sold hunting dogs (25) different breeds, I fished & sold my fish as soon as I pulled up to the dock (I'd get the best price too, being the first to get to port early in the morning- I'd be out fishing for 1 a night & back the next morning). I used to make my own lead fishing lures using deer tail hair. I had 1 wild raccoon - for scent trails for the dogs to track. I tamed him too. Parvo virus took a lot of my dogs & I was heart broken one of my pups passed in my arms b4 the Vet arrived. I closed that chapter in my life. I worked as a cook on an ocean going tug out of Miami Fla & with that same companyI worked on a vessel that transported the actirs of Miami Vice to & from their different water & land destinations. Then promoted myself & worked as a chef on yachts, I did vessel inspections for the galley (kitchen) specifically. I met my future husband while I was working as a chef. He hired me to help him relocate his sailboat. Hubby had me retire from chef work & my hubby & I went sailing. Did clothes mending, made a lot of my own clothes & shirts for hubby, & when his Mom was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, I decorated my workroom with a wall treatment & found sheets that matched & made it look like an English garden & took care of her for 7.5 months & she passed at 78. I created my own wedding dress, made my own wedding cake, decorated the church & reception hall & all that goes with making wedding plans, even our vows. I got into doing research on alternative cancer treatments because hubby was fearful of drying of cancer like his Mom & Dad b4 her. Now cancer doesn't scare us any more. I liked doing silk ribbon embroidery, painting, stencil work, & so much more. A quick peek into my past life. It was just as full as yours, but in different ways. You're amazing!

Thanks! You are welcome!

Awesome! Thank you! Let me know if you try it! It's so good and we only eat homemade now. It's so easy.

Glad you like it!

hi Stacey....wondering how long you think one jar would keep for? and is it refrigerated? or shelf stable

@@heavenleigh1564 it lasts about a week in my opinion. It starts to smell off after that. You definitely need to keep it in the fridge once it’s been incubated

I just made my first batch. It didn't set as thick as on the video. It's the constantancy of yogurt. I did 13 hours in the oven. I did use heavy whipping cream because I can not find whipping cream in my area at all. Any tips?

@@joselynsebright6374 you have to let it sit overnight in the fridge and it will set. It doesn’t set while in the oven

I have strained over-fermented kifer milk and used it in place of sour cream recipes. I will try your way to see if I have a preference but switching between both methods gives you both types of pro/prebiotics! Thx!

welcome to the community! im glad youre here!!

About 1/2 a heaping tablespoon should work for a 1-cup (1/2-pint) jar. I think she uses about 2 heaping tablespoons for a 1-quart jar, which is 2 pints (4 cups). I am going to try it in a 1/2-pint jar.

it keeps several weeks if we dont eat it all before then!! i dont know if it can be frozen.

I froze regular daisy sour cream once... 10 out of 10 would not recommend. It was a liquid mess when it thawed! I did use it to make a cake though so maybe it wasn't a complete disaster 😂

@@joyinthemorning44 awesome, I never thought about that. Thank you!

No cream products can be frozen well. We regularly freeze milk (or even cream cheese), but sour cream and heavy cream/half and half break when thawing. They’re ok for cooking into a dish but not appetizing otherwise.

Great tip! i might have to try that sometime.

Q... I know .ilk Kefir won't work for a water product obviously.. but I wonder if water Kifer would work for Milk products. Like this sour cream ?? ANY INFO. THANKS ✌😊

So do you just replace the yogurt part with the kefir? Thanks.

@@Glitch68 opposite. Replace the heavy whipping cream with Kefir for additional pro-biotics.

@@amc2510 If you did that you'd just have Kefir, not sour cream. You need the heavy whipping cream to feed the bacteria and forment into sour cream.

Did you heat your raw milk to make this?

@@sj120959 I did warm it only ( my house is very cold) But the * raw milk* cream, I seperated must have had a bit of milk still in it. So it " seperated" I had sour cream ontop, buttermilk like liquid under it. It did work, though.

@@sj120959 I think this video might explain why my cream seperated. I DID get some sour cream from it...also a " Surprise" lol! See bottom comment too.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrSlq6Ser8qYoYk.html

I never heat the milk up. I comes out directly from fridge to oven. It taste amazing. It's not as sour as yogurt.

Hope you like it! You can do it! I don't even use the towel anymore. I just put them in the oven

@Acre Homestead really..good to know, thank you.

I need to start making yogurt too! I go through phases with yogurt! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

@@AcreHomestead I’m glad I found your channel the other day. So much for me to start watching! I use a half gallon of whole milk and I get 4 pint jars. I like that I can make it before bed, put it in the oven with the light on and in the morning I just take them out of the oven, put lids on them and stick in fridge.

@@workinprogress3609 You can! Someone in the above mentioned making it in their instantpot.

@@laurielyon1892 so you don't need to keep the oven heating, you just need the light on?

@@michelledesjadon1476 I just have the oven on while the milk is cooling down. Once it is cool and I've added the culture to the milk and put it into the pint jars, I turn the oven off. The jars are put into the oven on a cookie sheet with the oven light on. It stays on all night and then in the morning they are done. I probably wouldn't have to leave it on as long, but I do believe the heat from the oven and the light help it do it's thing. I hope this helps answer your questions.

it is hard when it is hot to run the oven!

I hear ya from Tacoma!

Yes! I'm in Tumwater. I had to bug out to the neighbors house last month. It was 110+* outside and 95* INSIDE with AC on!

@@avanellehansen4525 next time head my way!

@@avanellehansen4525 I'm gonna head down Tumwater way to get farm eggs. I'm in Pierce Co, my sister is i Thurston Co. Gotta keep it local! 😊

Yea let me know how it turns out!

It’s so easy and yummy!

Agreed. I buy Daisy brand sour cream because it doesn't have thickeners, but I've had times when I don't use up all my heavy cream. It's so expensive to throw away & I'm terrible about using it once it makes it to the freezer. Finally, a way I can give that heavy cream a second life without the timer ticking away! Plus, who doesn't want another use for their dehydrator. Mine has been lonely since I did a ton of apples for cereal over the winter.

@@sarahsmith9084 YES! don't let that heavy cream go to waste! That's good stuff!

@@sarahsmith9084 have you made the homemade sour cream yet? How does it compare to the Daisy? I love Daisy sour cream (could literally eat it with a spoon lol) but I’m nervous about making it homemade. Yogurts and dairy make me nervous since spoiled dairy made me sick as a child I’m like scarred for life 🙈

@@maryelizabethr.3561 I haven't had any heavy cream that I've needed to use up asap yet (fortunately). When I do though, I'm so doing this :) I don't know if you do this already but dairy products usually change in smell over time. I use the Daisy sour cream too. It lasts me a full month in the fridge after I open it. I also use plain yogurt and cottage cheese. They all tell you when they're past their prime - the smell and texture changes over time. I've gotten to the point where I don't really pay attention to the expiry dates once they're in my fridge because I can tell as soon as I open it whether it's still good. I was nervous before I realized this for the same reason. I do know that the homemade stuff doesn't keep as long as the packaged though so if you do decide to make it plan on a shorter shelf life.

Wow thanks!

Oh my goodness...I have been making yogurt since I ws 14, but in a yogurt maker, you set your jars on the hotpad and cover with a towel.

After temp goes to 180, you need to let it go back down to approx 120 otherwise it can kill the active bacteria of the yogurt.

@@lylymongeon Correct. 115-105° would be ideal. I put my pot in cold water in sink to help it cool to that temp.

@@wildheart5086 Tx, went by memory. Wanted to ensure one knew to cool it first and not put in at 180. :)

yes the same amount. right from the fridge.

Did the magic happen 😅😅

@@robyn7287 Actually, yes, lol.

I just watched this video for the 1st time today. Will be making this soon..also making her homemade brown sugar!!!

Make biscuits with it 😋

It’s so yummy! I just took two jars out my oven this morning :)
