At the store my wife could not recall how much sour cream was needed for
something she was going to make. We bought much more that we need or would use in a short time. So, I was looking for ways to use it. First up-- scrambled eggs. I mixed them as usual and added a big gob of sour cream and whisked it in. They came out lighter and fluffier than usual. Next up-- pancakes. This morning I made my usual recipe of buttermilk pancakes, but added 1/4 cup of sour cream. They came out lighter and fluffier than usual. Given the success so far, I may rub my body with it and see if I come out lighter and fluffier. |

It can also be mixed with tzitiki to thicken it a bit. Fresh strawberries with brown sugar and sour cream is a nice treat. Elmira peach pie is a favourite around our house. It is a single crust pie with a mixture of sugar, sour cream and flour along with the peaches. After the pie is baked you sprinkle a little brown sugar and then stick it under the broiler to brown caramelize. |

Try White Lilly or Martha White flour. Both are made from soft Winter wheat and along with buttermilk, make the lightest and fluffiest pancakes, ever. ![]() nb |

Unless you leave the container open on the counter, drop a dirty spoon in it, it should last a really long time. It's like milk, buttermilk and cream. Treat it right and it lasts way beyond the use by date. IMO, milk would be the first to go but it also is good way beyond the use by date. You can make salad dressings, mix it with mayo to make dressing for potato salad or cole slaw, or a pan sauce. Make a frosting for a cake. Put a dollop on your baked potato instead of butter. I know I use it here and there all the time. I have one of those huge tubs from Costco stuck in the back corner of my fridge all the time. (the back corner is the coldest) The container comes out of the fridge, I uncover and remove what I want with a clean spoon, recover and back into the fridge it goes. That container is in there for a month or more and it is fine. I've been using it this way for decades. Janet US |

I searched and found this - Elmira Sour Cream Peach Pie 1/3 cup flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 cup sour cream 5 cups peaches quartered 1/4 cup brown sugar Bake 15 minutes at 450F, then lower heat to 350F and bake 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle brown sugar over hot pie. Broil 1 to 2 minutes. Serve warm. Does that sound right? Rusty in MD |

It's simple and delicious, and it is a good way to stretch out a few peaches and make a great pie. https://www.bigoven.com/recipe/elmir...each-pie/82512 |

I think you have something there that is of practical value. I used to make yoghurt and then make waffles with that. They came out light and crispy and there was a lot of leeway on the amount of yoghurt that could be used. I'll try mixing in some sour cream the next time I make scrambled eggs |

That's it! Thanks! Can't wait until fresh peaches are in season! |

Google <sour cream icecream> http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/fo...ce-cream-11405 http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipe...ream-Ice-Cream And the winner is: http://notwithoutsalt.com/sour-cream-cherry-ice-cream/ Perfect accompaniment: http://www.cookiemadness.net/2015/12...olate-babka-2/ Personally I like sour cream with chopped fresh dill and minced lox on a baked spud. I also like sour cream stirred into Manachewitz borscht and also in Manichewitz shav, with sliced cucumber and sliced hard cooked egg, the only cold soups I like. http://www.manischewitzstore.com/Man...ts_p_2977.html http://www.fooducate.com/app#!page=p...2-FEFD45A4D471 |

Actually, that is not a problem for me because I live in a rural area and there are several peach orchards where I can buy them that are close than the grocery store. It's no exaggeration. The closest orchard where I can buy them is about 1 1/4 miles from my house, and there is a fruit stand about the same distance the other way, and there are several more within two miles. It is four miles to a grocery store. Strawberries and raspberries are even closer. It used to be a problem to find peaches to make a pie for my mother on her birthday. It was July 24, which is about the earliest I can expect to find any fresh local peaches. Peaches are one of the fruits that are so much better freshly picked that I could not consider imported fruit. |

So, I was looking for ways to use it. How about sour cream and pickled herring. Wash it down with a beer. It is one of the world's great flavour combinations, and the bonus is that you can taste it for at least two days. |

Maybe they're picked too early so they stay "good" longer in the supermarket process. |

I've never tried them. |
