staple!). Most recipes for seasoned sour cream need to be refrigerated for an hour before you serve them to allow the flavours to develop. With my recipe, there's no need to wait! Because we add the spices straight into the fresh lemon juice as the first step, they then dissolve and blend into the sour cream as soon as it's all mixed together.

If you are wondering how I could include fresh lemon juice as being a "pantry staple"...well it can be if you store your lemons correctly! I always like to use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled, so they are a staple in my kitchen and here's how I do it. What is the best way to store lemonsThe best way to store lemons is in the fridge. How long do lemons last in the fridgeLemons (whole) should last for at least a month if kept in the fridge. How to keep garlic powder from clumpingNext time you open a fresh jar of garlic powder, pop in one of those little silica gel/damp absorbing packs that come in your vitamin bottles. These keep dry spices like garlic powder and onion powder from getting damp and clumping. Whenever I get a new bottle of vitamins, I take out the absorption packet and keep them in an airtight jar until I need one for my dry spices. My top tips for making this recipe
