This is the type that is served with scones and crumpets.

Pour cream almost to the top of the filter. Refrigerate for 2 hours. The whey will sink to the bottom passing through the filter leaving a ring of clotted cream. Scrape this down with a rubber spatula and repeat every couple of hours until the mass reaches the consistency of soft cream cheese. I bought a 1/2 gallon carton of heavy cream from Costco for under 4 dollars. Under those circumstances, making clotted cream is a breeze and cheaper than buying imports.

A single label can range from being thick but pourable to extremely dense. They are wonderful on berries, and excellent to cook with. Most have a little carrageenan in them, but as that is a natural product it doesn't bother me at all. Can't remember my favorite label. Another excellent product from these producers is the cultured buttermilk, jojoque. Not to be confused with part skim buttermilk. Try it, it's just completely different from buttermilk in a carton.

The nearest to you would be WF - there's one in Deerfield that's the nearest to the NW burbs. The other 2 stores are only in the city, I believe. Fri Dec 13 14:30:10 -0800 2002 606844 0 michael j.
