5 Percent Cream

Wow, it's freezing today. It's time to pack the baseball caps away and bring the gloves out. I was at the groceries today and decided to buy some 5% cream. It started out when I found this Indian Butter Chicken sauce that called for some tablespoons of cream. So I got a one litre container and decided the rest won't waste, in fact I'm going to put some in my next cup of tea! 5% cream is one quarter of the fat of regular cream by the way. I'll try the butter chicken sauce tomorrow.

Oh how does that cream taste? Does that mean its 95% fat free? I never understand these percentge terms but if it is reduced by that much its worth using more of. Oh I made the pumpkin pie thanks to you and it was YUM! I am a convert!

Wish we had something like that 5% We often use Soya in an attempt to cut down on fat but I don't think anything is as good as the real stuff.
Can't imagine it freezing ! It's a lovely Autumn day here-sunny and quite warm

Lilly and Barbara, I would say half and half cream is a lot better than 5%, and nothing is as good as the real stuff as Barbara says. Oh well. Best not to buy any of that stuff, it's habit forming.

So full cream is 20% milk fat. Half and half is 10% milk fat. and 5% would be 5% milk fat according to the milk box.
