YOGURT "SOUR CREAM"
I use plain yogurt, heavy cream/whipping cream, sour cream, kefir interchangeably with many recipes. At the sake of embarrassing myself, here's a ridiculously easy cheater's version of sour cream. Please note that I always use whole milk plain yogurt and never use any type of reduced fat versions. C/O Delicious Living.

Steps:
- 1. Line a fine sieve with cheesecloth or a lightweight tea towel and set over a bowl. Add 16 ounces (2 cups) plain yogurt. Let sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or overnight to drain. Overnight is recommended. Use as you would sour cream.
- 2. Transfer the drained yogurt to a *non-reactive* container and stir in 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice.
CREAMY HOMEMADE YOGURT
Homemade yogurt is a snap to make. All you really need is good quality milk, a few spoonfuls of your favorite plain yogurt to use as a starter culture, and some time to let it sit. You can substitute low-fat milk here if you'd rather; 2 percent works a lot better than 1 percent. Skim milk will give you a thinner yogurt, though if you add some dry milk powder to the milk as it heats (about 1/2 cup), that will help thicken it. Creamline (non-homogenized milk) will give you a cream top on your yogurt. Homogenized milk is smooth throughout.

Steps:
- Rub an ice cube over the inside bottom of a heavy pot to prevent scorching (or rinse the inside of the pot with cold water). Add milk and cream, if using, and bring to a bare simmer, until bubbles form around the edges, 180 to 200 degrees. Stir the milk occasionally as it heats.
- Remove pot from heat and let cool until it feels pleasantly warm when you stick your pinkie in the milk for 10 seconds, 110 to 120 degrees. (If you think you'll need to use the pot for something else, transfer the milk to a glass or ceramic bowl, or else you can let it sit in the pot.) If you're in a hurry, you can fill your sink with ice water and let the pot of milk cool in the ice bath, stirring the milk frequently so it cools evenly.
- Transfer 1/2 cup of warm milk to a small bowl and whisk in yogurt until smooth. Stir yogurt-milk mixture back into remaining pot of warm milk. Cover pot with a large lid. Keep pot warm by wrapping it in a large towel, or setting it on a heating pad, or moving to a warm place, such as your oven with the oven light turned on. Or just set it on top of your refrigerator, which tends to be both warm and out of the way.
- Let yogurt sit for 6 to 12 hours, until the yogurt is thick and tangy; the longer it sits, the thicker and tangier it will become. (I usually let it sit for the full 12 hours.) Transfer the pot to the refrigerator and chill for at least another 4 hours; it will continue to thicken as it chills.

SOURED CREAM
Make your own soured cream to spoon onto chilli, nachos and more. It's quick to make but needs to be left overnight to develop that creamy texture

Steps:
- Pour the cream, yogurt and vinegar into a sterilised jar, put on the lid and shake well. Remove the lid and place a square of clean kitchen paper on top of the jar before sealing with a piece of string or rubber band.
- Leave the soured cream overnight in a cool place, but not in the fridge. The next day you should have a thick, spoonable mixture. To serve, stir through the chives and sea salt, if you like. Will keep in the fridge for up to two days.
