Can I freeze leftover sour cream?

Dairy products do not freeze well. Sour cream will separate and become very watery upon thawing. For this reason it is not recommended; however, some people DO freeze sour cream when they use it only in dishes such as beef stroganoff where the purpose of the sour cream is to add a subtle tarness and creaminess to the dish. Don't plan on using previously frozen sour cream for anything but cooked dishes and also don't use it as a thickening agent as the components that provide this characteristic will be broken down in the freeze/thaw process. Finally, it's always best to use fresh ingredients. It's not that expensive and you can buy small enough quantities that waste should not be an issue.

I have tried this with not so good results. Now, if I need just a dab of sour cream, I whip the rest into a quick dip or sour cream and chive topping. I find I waste less this way, as I will usually have the dip (spinach and artichoke or herb are my faves) as a snack or lunch the next day with veggie dippers. I enjoy this as a treat, since I dont consume much dairy. I also make salad dressing with the leftover bits. I have, tho, occaisionally frozen a few cubes in an ice cube tray, to toss in a recipe to liven it up. It seams to hold up better this way-perhaps as it freezes quickly in such small amounts. Once frozen, I keep the cubes in a zipper bag in the freezer. I hope this helped a bit

Why does sour cream turn pink when it ages?

You could try but that one could come out a little weird. But if youre going to throw it out any way it is worth the experiment.

No... your asking for it if you do and actually eat it

heavens no.
