LE ROY PENNYSAVER & NEWS - MARCH 9, 2014
by Mary Margaret Ripley
My husband came home last
week with ten cases of sour
cream after helping with a local
food distribution drive. He knew
I used sour cream in my baking
and thought that I could put it to
good use. Yes, I use a lot of sour
cream but 120 lbs of it is a little
more than I can handle especial-
ly since the sell by date was for
the 12th and it was now the 15th.
I was not particularly worried
about the sell by date though.
Sour cream can last for a month
at least after the sell by date but
there is a fairly limited amount
of uses for sour cream in baking
or cooking. Many recipes call for
a cup and I now had 240 cups!
Now you might be wondering
how I planned on using all of
this sour cream. Right after I got
the 10 cases I posted my predic-
ament on Facebook and offered
to drop off containers to friends
and family who wanted some. I
got rid of two cases doing that.
Then I took a case to church and
twisted everyone’s arms in the
Adult Sunday School Class to
take some. Then I gave a case
to Grace’s Kitchen. Also anyone
who came over for a visit didn’t
leave without taking some home
with them. All told I gave away
4 ¼ cases of sour cream.
Now about the other 5 ½ cas-
es, I did some research for new
recipes and found many uses for
sour cream that I had not thought
of. Of course there are always
a lot of tacos and French onion
dips to be made but a recipe for
Irish Soda Bread called for a cup
of sour cream and my favorite
pineapple cream pie has two
cups. My research also found
that if I was going to use the sour
cream in any baking I could, in
fact, freeze the sour cream and
thaw it out and use it later. Freez-
ing does not work if you want to
use the sour cream fresh, such
as a topping for chili or tacos.
Freezing the cream is not nor-
mally recommended because it
separates and become watery.
While this consistency is not ide-
al for fresh use, it is perfectly ac-
ceptable for use in baking where
it will be broken down anyway.
After the research findings
proved I could freeze the sour
cream, I popped 4 cases (48
containers) into the freezer and
will use them at a later date. That
now leaves me with 18 contain-
ers to use and I can handle that
amount. Scones anyone?
I would love to hear from you.

ment or a topic you would like me
