Instructions

In a clean, dry jar or container with a lid, combine the heavy cream and buttermilk/sour cream. Make sure you stir to combine everything completely.
Cover the jar/container with a lid or cheesecloth and let it sit at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours.
Check the mixture after 12 hours to see if it has thickened and developed a tangy flavor. If not, let it sit for a few more hours until it reaches the desired consistency and taste.
Once it has thickened, stir the mixture and then cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to fully set.
Your homemade crème fraîche will last 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
