Right. And I'm taking a product that is already cultured and soured, adding it to fresh product to culture and sour. It's no different than using store purchase yogurt as a starter for homemade yogurt.
Obviously the homemade isn't going to have the shelf life as purchased sour cream. I haven't used cream or half & half, but from what I read, that will give you a thicker end result. I have been using whole milk. I end up with good, sour cream flavor and the consistency of thick salad dressing.
