I discovered table cream when our family lived in Southern Florida. One of my dear friends made the most delicious soup, and when I asked her for the recipe and she mentioned table cream, I just looked at her blankly. Basically, table cream is cream in a can! The thought just floored me! Canned cream opened up a whole range of recipes that I had considered off limits for my food storage. This week I’m going to share a few of my favorites with you.

Depending on where you live, buying table cream can be as easy as going down to your local grocery store or Super WalMart. At WalMart it’s usually in the Ethnic Foods section and a couple of weeks ago it cost $1.39/can. However, if you live in an area that doesn’t carry it, Amazon does. At $2.33/can, it’s kind of pricey, but in my opinion worth it! I also found it at Netrition.com for about $2/can with shipping.

Table cream is one of those food storage luxuries. Could we get along without it? Probably. But it adds another layer of variety to what we store that takes our food storage from ordinary to extraordinary!
