Devon Cream Recipe

What is heavy cream? Is it the same as Devon Cream (from the UK) or Whipping Cream in the carton?

I have a buttercream recipe asking for heavy cream and i could only find whipping cream that says "35%" on it. If it's not right ... where can i find heavy cream?

Hello
Heavy cream is usually the same as whipping cream and usually has the same words all stated together on the carton. There are some variations available, you just have to watch what you get. I love using fresh whipping cream (heavy cream), it just tastes so much better.
As for devon cream, here is some information on it. It is nothing that I have personally ever used.

evonshire (or Devon) Cream is a clotted cream produced commercially in Devon Cornwall and Somerset England. It is a thick, rich, yellowish cream with a scalded or cooked flavor that is made by heating unpasteurized milk until a thick layer of cream forms on its surface. The milk is then cooled and the layer of cream is skimmed off. Clotted cream has 55-60 percent fat content and is so thick it does not need to be whipped.

Now this technical description may tell us what it is and how it is made but it does not adequately describe its wonderful sweet flavor or how it makes the perfect accompaniment to scones with jam. If you haven't tried it I would recommend hunting it down as, unlike years gone by, it can now be found in specialty food stores and even some mainstream grocery stores are stocking it. You can also buy it through mail order below.

If you have access to unpasteurized cream, the 'Joy of Cooking' tells us how we can make our own clotted cream. (I have never tried this as I cannot seem to find unpasteurized cream in grocery stores.) Begin by taking unpasteurized cream and letting it stand for about 12 hours (during the winter months) or 6 hours (during the warm summer months). Then to sterilize the cream; place the cream over very low heat (do not boil) until rings form on the surface of the cream. Store in a cold place for at least 12 hours and then skim the thick clotted cream from the surface of the cream. You now have homemade Clotted Cream.
