Can I freeze buttermilk?

[lucysmam]

I bought some to use in a recipe but the apples I also bought have sort of been absorbed into weekly apple eating this week with 3 of us at home.

Can I freeze it until next week when I'll re-buy them? We don't really need anything else this week before anyone sends me to the shop for more apples!

Dont see why not.
And if the recipie calls for less than whole carton, you could split it before freezing, so you only need to defrost the amount required for the recipie when you have sufficient apples.

I've never used it before so thought I'd ask before I did it. Good idea to split it down too - I'll check the recipe first!

Surely it is cultured and fermented and will last for ages anyway? I've used it up to two weeks beyond the BB date and it was absolutely fine.

@Zeebeezee I didn't know that! I'll leave it where it is for the moment then, saves me a job.

Oh please don't blame me if it doesn't work out for you!

Try it first and give me a kicking after lol.

Haha, I'll see how it goes if it doesn't work out I'm sure we can eat more apples!

What is the apple-and-buttermilk recipe?

I always freeze buttermilk. Buy a few and pop the ones I'm not using in the freezer. The only thing to watch for is a possible slight leak/expansion on the carton. It depends I suppose on what it comes in

I second this. DH uses buttermilk to make soda bread and actually prefers it a couple of weeks past the best before date.
