Making creamI've got a good supply of fresh milk available and I have made clotted cream with it, but was wondering how I get just ordinary double cream from it. I'm guessing that I would need to pastuerize it i.e hold at 90 deg for 10 mins, and then leave to cool and skim the cream off the top.
Can anyone please help.

If you want double cream you really need to use a separator. Double cream is double because of the percentage of butterfat in it. Single cream basically has more milk mixed in with it. To get rid of that milk you will need to run it through a separator.
I think we were getting quadruple cream through ours! You really could stand a spoon up in it.

Nah, just vast quantities of that cream to thicken things up!

If you hook it up to a bike we could all take turns pedalling, thus earning the calories.
We'll all be round later.
Very round.

Thanks for the info VSS, I've looked at the price of new ones and think I will stick to making clotted cream for now unless I can find a very reasonably priced 2nd hand one.

What do you call a reasonable price?

I have about 15 litres of milk a week, so not that much, therefore I couldn't really justify spending more than £100 on one and I know to find a working one for that price would be impossible. So clotted cream it is.
