Date the jars and every 10 days remove the starter from the refrigerator, transfer it to a bowl and feed it the usual combination 1 cup of each milk, flour and sugar. Leave it outside the refrigerator uncovered for 2 days then either bake it or divide it among friends and always save some for yourself
