Wa-laa - sour cream. If you leave it 48 hours you have cream cheese (mix with herbs for a delicious cheese spread). I have one of those nifty things that has the fine mesh strainer that sits inside another container, complete with lid so I just dump it in and pop it in the fridge. But, you could just as easily use cheesecloth in a strainer over a bowl and cover with a towel. I put mine in the fridge but have heard you can leave it on the counter. Either way it is full of good little bacterial beasties. And, don't throw the whey away!! There are many uses for it, as well.
