Ingredients

4 cups heavy cream (not ultra-pasteurized)

Instructions

Gather your ingredients. Preheat your oven to a low temperature of 175-180°F (80°C).
Pour the fresh cream into a shallow glass or ceramic baking dish (an 8- or 9-inch square pan works great). The cream should be about 1 ½ to 2 inches deep.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 hours without stirring. Carefully take it out of the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Gently push aside a corner of the thickened cream layer.
Carefully pour the liquid underneath into a separate bowl or container. Keep this chilled and use it in your favorite scone recipe – it will perfectly complement the clotted cream!
Spoon the thickened clotted cream into a ceramic crock or canning jar. Cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
