praisefor3 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 At the last minute I want to make a buttermilk pie. I have buttermilk that says, "Best used by October 31st". It smells like buttermilk (which I only like in a pie.) How do I know if I can still use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Take a big gulp and if you keep it down over the next 4 hours, it's still good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i.love.lucy Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Not sure how to tell. Is it chunky? Hey, BTW, did you know you can freeze it? I needed some for an awesome apple cake recipe and stumbled across a blog telling me I can freeze it so I don't waste a whole quart for the 1/3 c I need. I tried it and it works beautifully!! I froze it in ziplock baggies in 1/2c measurements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amie Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 You would know. As in, you wouldn't even be here asking that question because you would be taking it out to the trash. :D (OK, so maybe I once went a little too long in between cleaning out the fridge.) But maybe someone else has some better advice for the not-quite-so-expired buttermilk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laundrycrisis Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I would just go get new buttermilk. I have never heard of buttermilk pie ! Off to google ! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDmom Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 It gets chunky. Big globs plopping out of your milk bottle... :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisefor3 Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 OK we went and got new milk. I had no idea we could freeze it and I'm glad to know because the store didn't have any more quart sizes and we had to buy 1/2 gallon! We will freeze it, although...all I ever use it for is buttermilk pie. Oh and I first heard about it on this board (the old one) a few years ago. It has now been a family Thanksgiving tradition every year. I dared to think that I would just make pecan and apple this year and dd20 was heart broken that I would break the new "tradition". Glad it is easy to make as I now have 2 buttermilk pies waiting for the oven. If you don't find the recipe...let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laundrycrisis Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 If you don't find the recipe...let me know! I found one at the NPR site ! I showed it to DH. After we are through our Thanksgiving pies, I will make a buttermilk pie :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Darn, I opened this thread looking for the punch line. The thread title just struck me as so funny! In my experience, if it congealed, it was bad. :tongue_smilie: I don't use it that often, so now I just buy the powdered and reconstitute it as needed, except for one recipe for a cake that I make in multiple batches (so I'll use a whole quart at a time).

Amie Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Now I'm curious about these buttermilk pies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
