Clotted Cream

We love going to tea! 

We’ve really enjoyed tea parties at Barbara’s Victorian Tea House (http://www.barbarasvictorianteahouse.com/) for one of my Gram’s birthdays and The Huntington’s Rose Garden Tea Room (https://huntington.org/tea-room) for one of my husband’s birthdays – yes, at his request!

We want to be able to have our own at home for special gatherings, so I’ve started to experiment with tea related recipes.

The English Scones, Raspberry Jam, Lemon Curd , and this Clotted Cream are de-licious! And WAY easier that you may think!!!

Now it’s time to master tea sandwiches…

I like to use the Instant Pot & Oven directions as leaving my oven on for 12 hours just makes me anxious. You could do the whole 12 hours in the IP, too, but I don’t like to tie up my inner pot in the fridge as I need access to my IP for other stuff. 😊

NOTE: I hear this does better with pasteurized whipping cream, but I’ve only ever used ultra-pasteurized.
