Low fat creme fraiche

Creme fraiche is normally made with heavy cream. This version uses half-and-half, which cuts the fat content by about 2/3. Use it in place of sour cream or yogurt. I like it on oatmeal, with a drizzle of honey.

    In a bowl, combine the half-and-half and buttermilk. Cover with lint-free paper towel and let sit at room temperature for 24 hours. When it's the consistency of sour cream, replace the paper towel with a tight-fitting lid and put the creme fraiche in the fridge. It should keep for about a week.
