    I did have a quick look to see if I could find any answers but I couldn't.

    Basically my query is that I buy sour cream for when I do wraps for dinner. Where I shop they don't do the sour cream in a tiny pot so we end up having loads left over which inevitably gets thrown out. Are there any other recipes I could use the sour cream with that would use it up and I wouldn't end up throwing out loads of sour cream everytime we eat wraps which is probably once every three weeks.

    Not quite the answer you're looking for, but when I don't have sour cream in I use double cream with lemon juice added as a substitute, if you did this you could freeze the leftover double cream that hadn't had the lemon juice added.

    I feel your pain OP, we have roast vege wraps virtually every week (gf is obsessed with them...) and have a little garlic and onion dip on them.... problem is Tesco / Asda don't sell small tubs so we have to get a bigger one... use half and then I can guarantee that the other half gets wasted... I go mad every week when I go back to the fridge and throw one out... then we go shopping on a Friday and have to buy another one for next week, repeat again and again!!!

    Would love to know what else I can use it for....

    I have the same issue and tend to use mine as an extra topping on my chili con carne, then add some sprinkled grated cheese - or, it tastes lovely if you add a dollop (great word) to some HM soup.

    You could also use it in a jacket potato, add some chopped spring onions for a fresh topping. You could use it instead of mayo with some tuna and potato. I've also added some to beaten egg when making a fritatta.

    Hope that helps :)

    Hi
    I buy it towards the end of the week, and have half in wraps on the friday [say], then again in wraps on the monday - so it doesn't go off and it feels like we had them in 2 different weeks.

    I find we need to do that or the wraps don't last either.

    Hi lynseydee,

    There's an older thread with some more ideas so I've added your thread to it to keep the replies together.

    I freeze it in 2 tablespoon quantities then use it to make coleslaw using this recipe which is delicious and very cheap to make:

    300g white cabbage sliced thinly
    2 carrots peeled and grated
    2 spring onions or 1/4 red onion
    2 tbsp mayo
    2 tbsp soured cream
    1 tsp mustard
    2 tbsp vinegar
    1 tsp sugar
    salt and pepper

    Mix the cream, mayo, vinegar, mustard and sugar in a small bowl and pour over the cabbage, carrot and onion. Season to taste and refrigerate for an hour or so to allow the flavours to infuse.

    This keeps for a few days in a lock and lock box, I have also made it using kohlrabi instead of cabbage and it was delicious. You might need a bit more mayo as the videojug clip says 2 tbsp but it looks like alot more when they add it http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-make-coleslaw

    I use grain mustard and rice wine vinegar but any will do
