Ingredient: Cream

What to do if you have too much heavy cream and you aren’t going to use it for anything?  Whip it into whipped cream with a tiny bit of sugar or maple syrup to sweeten it, and a dash of vanilla if desired.

If you are in a rush, pour your ingredients of choice directly into the bottle and shake until it becomes whipped cream!  Don’t shake too long or you’ll make butter (though there’s nothing wrong with that, either.  


Recipes Using Cream

Farmer Jamie’s Baked Cucumbers in Basil Cream

This is Farmer Jamie’s suggestion, from Farmer John’s cookbook. It’s a tasty departure from the cool cucumber, as this one spends time in the oven. Delicious when the basil and cukes are both popping in the fields.


Grandma’s Corn Chowder

A Springdell Farm recipe from Farmer Jamie! Bacon ends are a perfect item for making chowder…especially for those of you who have some corn in the freezer from your summer share.

This recipe from Southern Living provides a tasty and unique use for apples and sweet potatoes. There are several liberties that can be taken with the ingredients (I used half of the called for refrigerated pie crust, none of the orange juice and much less of the sugar, for example). A dollop of freshly whipped cream really brings this one home!
