When I have milk in the refrigerator that is just starting to sour, although it doesn't taste or smell too good, it is still safe to consume it. Then I know it is time to make baked macaroni or pudding or some other recipe that calls for a lot of milk. If there is still some of the milk left, I freeze it in small containers for future use in cooking.
At first I was in shock over this tip and then I thought, "Deeli, you like cottage cheese don't you so what's wrong with baking with curdled milk?" Thanks for sharing what you do with the curdles :-)

Tip: Uses for Sour Milk (12/01/2009)
I have almost a gallon of sour milk. What can I do with it other than throw it away? Can I make something with it?

RE: Uses for Sour Milk
Let it sit at room temperature until it curdles (or "clabbers"). Line a large bowl with about 4 layers of cheese cloth and pour the sour milk into the bowl. Bring up corners and tie the gloppy mess securely by winding sturdy string around it several times. Suspend it and let it drain over the bowl overnight and in the morning, you will have cottage cheese. As for the liquid part, I suppose you could use it in soup or gravy or else mix it with dry dog or cat food. (07/22/2005)

I've used it in biscuits. It's about the same as adding buttermilk and doesn't affect the taste. Now some may say it's not HEALTHY. I ain't dead yet! (07/22/2005)

I would freeze it in small containers in the amounts that my recipes call for, such as butter tubs. Use it in baking; biscuits, pancakes, etc. (07/22/2005)

I have some friends who grow roses (beautiful, I might add) and they give them milk every couple of months, so why not use the sour milk. All the nutrients are still there. Now all your rose growers, this is just something a friend does so I don't know myself. I can kill an artificial plan, if you know what I mean. (07/23/2005)

Pour it in the garden, pour it in your compost pile (you do have one, don't you ) :-) Use it to water your plants outside and roses love it ! (07/24/2005)

If you have a septic tank, pour it down the toilet. The enzymes in the milk will help clean your septic tank. It helps. (07/25/2005)

Milk is supposed to be good 7 days past the sell-by date. I just returned some sour milk to the store where I purchased it and got a free replacement gallon even though it had expired 3 days earlier. (10/31/2005)

Sour milk makes the nicest scones (biscuits for those who are American). You can also use yogurt or sour yogurt (05/23/2006)
