EASY CREME FRAICHE



Easy Creme Fraiche image

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 :)

FRUIT SALAD WITH EASY CRèME FRAICHE



Fruit Salad With Easy Crème Fraiche image

This is a super easy and delicious fruit salad recipe I found in one of the Ontario Farm Fresh recipe booklets. I usually make it without the nectarines and apricots, because I find it difficult to find them in my local grocery store. The Crème Fraiche might not be for everyone, I like it and my boyfriend didn't
