Yeah, but can even heavier heavy cream be all bad??!!? Seriously, though,
the OP got me thinking about making clotted cream, as the 4 oz bottles I can
buy run about $5.00 US. I did some Googling, and found recipes that call for
heating either whole milk or heavy cream in the process.Which would you
recommend? And must the dairy be unpasteurized? That may take some hunting.
Last night I used the last spoonful in my jar on a still slightly warm mocha
custard. Ohhhhhhhhhhh boy.
