Tonight we got to have dinner with some of Mark's extended family who is in town, and Mark's aunt made derby pie and homemade whipped cream. I told her how amazed I was that she just made her own whipped cream and she said she wondered why anybody ever bought it at the store because it is so easy to make! This is how she did it: one little container of whipping cream (the liquid kind near the half & half in the grocery), plus 2 tablespoons of sugar. Whisk it for a few minutes (2 or 3, I think) and voila...it becomes thick and perfect! Apparently it is helpful to use a cold metal bowl and whisk and apparently it is good to add a little burbon to it (Mark's family is from Louisville and they believe in adding burbon to a lot of things).
