Sandra’s Tips

  • Keep it in an airtight container – This helps it stay fresh.
  • Refrigerate right away – Don’t leave it out too long; get it back in the fridge within 2 hours.
  • Homemade dips usually last about 3–5 days in the fridge.
  • Give it a stir before serving – It might separate a little, but a quick mix brings it back to life.
  • Don’t freeze it – Sour cream doesn’t freeze well; it can get grainy or watery after thawing.
