- Transfer to a glass jar or container and cover with plastic wrap.

- Using a hand motorized blender, blend until you have just the right consistency/thickness.
- Put in the refrigerator and chill.
- Note: Since this is not a commercially made product and the process is not controlled (temperature sensors) -- it may not clabber correctly; There are many factors which might cause this; You need to use fresh Active Buttermilk Cultures (look on the container for live cultures and date), need fresh Milk, clean utensils (pot, jars) and most importantly the correct room temperature (70°F) while it sits and clabbers; Also, try not to disturb it and put the jar or container in a low light, dark area too.

I absolutely love this recipe!! I make it pretty much weekly now, and what a savings!! I find I can use the recipe as starter for the next batch, although I may need to let it sit a bit longer the next time but it still works. Thanks for a great recipe!!
