Ingredients:  
1 gallon milk
1 cup of yogurt (starter)

Directions:
Directions:
Heat milk on low heat until it boils. Put it in tupperware bowl. Let it sit until the temperature is cool enough that it can be touched with your finger without causing a burn. Add the yogurt. Stir and cover with seran wrap and then with a blanket. Place it on your counter away from drafts and let it sit for 6 to 10 hours.

Put yogurt in refrigerator for one day. Then, put yogurt in cloth bag. Hang the bag above the sink or above a large bowl where it can drain for 12 hours, until all the liquid drains from the bag. Once the liquid is drained, it becomes sour cream. Remove sour cream from bag. Shape into 2” balls. Put the sour cream balls in a jar and fill jar with olive oil. This is so delicious with khibiz (pita bread) and olives.
The sour cream will last quite a long time when stored in olive oil.
