Clotted cream

A good friend is planning a very traditional tea party. She is serving
scones and jams (along with other food) and commented that it's a shame you
can't get clotted cream in the USA.

Is this true? I did see it listed at amazon.com, but they're out of it with
no mention of when it might become available. Is there anywhere else I can
get some through mail order?

If not, is there reasonable facsiimile thereof I could make or buy? I'd
love to surprise her with some.

Thanks!

Anny

I see that King Arthur Flour has it, you could order it from them.

Amy...also look for Devon cream. This might be nice...

Clotted Cream Recipe courtesy Alton Brown
Show: Good Eats
Episode: Strawberry Sky

2 cups pasteurized (not ultra-pasteurized) cream

Set a coffee filter basket, lined with a filter, in a strainer, over a
bowl. Pour the cream almost to the top of the filter. Refrigerate for
2 hours. The whey will sink to the bottom passing through the filter
leaving a ring of clotted cream. Scrape this down with a rubber
spatula and repeat every couple of hours until the mass reaches the
consistency of soft cream cheese.

I've had no problem finding it. Not likely found at the corner store or
7-11, but most supermarkets carry it in the refrigerated section.

Ouch. Wouldn't it need to be refrigerated? I can't imagine what
they do to/add to it make t shelf stable.

Gamma radiation?

Or was that for stabilizing the Hulk? I can't remember.
