Mock Devonshire Cream or Clotted Cream

1/2 cup sour cream

2 cups heavy whipping cream

Add one drop of yellow food coloring to whipping cream. Beat cream until very stiff. Gradually blend in sour cream. Store and serve in glass containers.  Serve with warm scones. 

***“Real” Devonshire or Clotted Cream is made from unpasturized milk and takes about 24 hrs to prepare.

 To properly eat scones with jam and cream, cut the scone in half like a hamburger bun.  The jam should go on the scone first, then the cream.  Devonshire cream., imported from England, is available in specialty markets, such as Fresh Market, Whole Foods, and Trader Joes
