EASY CREME FRAICHE
Creme Fraiche (pronounced "fresh") is not an item easily found in local grocery stores, in certain parts of the country. The French use it often in cooking and whenever a recipe called for this ingredient, of course, I didn't have it! Then Food & Wine published it and I use it again and again. I always have it on hand in the refrigerator just "in case" I have to use my imagination and whip up a sauce for something fast! A tablespoon of creme fraiche swished into the drippings of any pan roasted pork chop or chicken breast (& a dash of white wine) turns it into an amazing meal. If you don't know about this wonderful cream, try it and you'll find more uses to this "secret" ingredient :)

Tips:
- To make crème fraîche at home, you'll need heavy cream and a yogurt starter culture. You can use store-bought buttermilk or kefir as a starter culture, or you can make your own by fermenting milk with a probiotic capsule.
- The fermentation process takes about 12-24 hours. You can keep the crème fraîche at room temperature during this time, or you can place it in the refrigerator to slow down the fermentation process.
- Once the crème fraîche has fermented, it will have a tangy, slightly sour flavor. You can use it as a topping for soups, salads, and desserts, or you can use it in baking.
- Crème fraîche can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Crème fraîche is a versatile and delicious dairy product that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's easy to make at home, and it's a great way to add a touch of richness and flavor to your favorite recipes.
