What would you do with 4 qts of cream?

if you have a good blender or a food processor...blend together, adding a bit at a time...1 pint cream (more or less) and one lb (more or less) frozen strawberries. Add honey or sugar to taste...instant ice cream!

Fresh cream is too good to waste - I would make:
Whipped cream and strawberries (Strawberry Shortcake maybe?)
Ice cream
Fresh Butter with a loaf of fresh baked homemade bread

Consume it in one way or another then take another Lipitor!

I can tell you what not to do,

I got looking one day on recipes that use cream, and I discovered that caramels use cream in them, and it was similar to the one below, (I do not remember the butter in the one I made, but was most likely in it),

so I got a thermometer and the other ingredients, and started to make Carmel's,

one thing that was not clear to me at the time is that when caramels boil they expand about 4 to 5 times the volume of the original liquid volume,

and since I wanted to use up the cream I had about a 12 quart dutch over I was using about half full of ingredient, and it started to boil and boil it did and up an all over the stove and down under the top of the stove, and on to the floor (by all over the floor I am guessing there was an area about 3 to 4 foot around on the one side of the stove and under the stove, well when I finally stopped boiling I took it off the stove top and proceeded to scoop and scrape and spoon up the mess, and then took off the top of the stove and started under the top I think I took me a few hrs on the stove top,

(the GOOD NEWS) I was in the barn (I have a kitchen in the barn for taking some eating breaks and so on) I was tired and figured I could leave the floor until the next day, I come in to the barn kitchen the next day and there is a trail of ants coming in from a crack under the door to the Carmel on the floor,
this Carmel on the floor was at least 1/4 of an inch deep in most of the area it covered, so I left it, and over the next few days (may have been a week or two) this stream of ants came in and out, and cleaned up ever speck of that Carmel on the floor, (the floor was never that clean before), but was amazing what they did,

but if you make caramels make sure you have plenty of room for the expansion of the caramels when they boil up, Use a large pan for the liquid volume better to have to big than to small in this instance,
they were still good eating even if I did make a mess,

Wish for a big bowl of black or dew berries.

Wow! Thanks for all the input. I don't know where to start!

I vote for ice cream =]

Easiest way to make ice cream without an ice cream maker: Just whip the cream into stiff peaks with some vanilla extract. Then fold in an equal amount of sweetened condensed milk and any other flavor ingredients such as fresh peaches, strawberries, toffee bars, etc., and freeze.

Hint: do NOT use frozen fruit unless you thaw it first; they will be like rocks in your ice cream.

Actually I have 3! They get all the milk every other day and are quite disappointed when they just get water.

I've seen where some have suggested yogurt. Can you make yogurt out of just the cream? I make yogurt with the milk with cream in it and the best part of it is that little layer of cream at the top. The funny part is I used to scrape it off the top and throw it away until my uncle asked why I was throwing the best part away!

Ditto... Don't go listening to the health nazis who say fat is bad... your body (and theirs) needs it.

Nothing wrong with skimming the milk, though... as long as you keep the cream, and throw the skim away...
