This clotted cream is made with a long, slow cooking method that toasts the cream, imparting a sweet nuttiness that I don't think I've tasted in any other preparation. While the name doesn't make the mouth water, the flavor and texture of clotted cream are the stuff of legends. This cream is delicious spread on warm biscuits or scones and topped with homemade jam.
