Hi, We have nice discussions about drying sausage and meat. I want to tell you about dry-aging cream. The goal is the make cultured cream or butter clotted cream, double cream or Devonshire cream. Another goal is the determine how to know what you have made. I purchase heavy cream from Meijer stores. This is 'manufacture's cream" that is "pasteurized" (not Ultra-P.) with ONE ingredient - cream. The procedure is to forget the cream is in your fridge until some period after the expiration date. The results:
Two weeks after expiration: Clotted cream and butter milk. The buttermilk is good. The clotted stuff is really thick. Four weeks after expiration: This gets dicey. One time is was a bit ripe. Another time it was cultured ambrosia. My wife thinks I am a little looney...but, I haven't hit my own expiration date yet. Tim |

Tim, If you wanted to take it further, then next time you get good cultured cream out of it, save a sample and add it to the next batch of cream. |

Fuzzy, Thanks for that thought. A few minutes ago I opened a carton of cream that expired 55 days ago, on 11/10. There was no odor. The buttermilk was not a bit sour, actually disappointing. The "cream" was luscious and will enhance our meals with all my kids coming this weekend. I better not tell their wives the story. Tim |
