You just pour it in the jar and put it in the freezer? Or do you need to process it some more?

I would love to can some, but I know nothing about canning.

I don't can them because I don't have a pressure canner, and can't afford one right now. I have the freezer space at the moment so I'm using it.

I think Shekinah said that she cans hers. I can't remember if she used a pressure canner. I don't know if you would need to.

But the boiling method might take for.ever.

I use some right away, and then freeze some in ice cube trays.

Once it's frozen, you can crack the cubes out and put them into a bigger ziplock bag so that you can use your ice cube tray again.

Coffee filter!!!

That is GENIUS!!! I used to use a coffee filter instead of cheese cloth (I h.a.t.e. cheesecloth

) when I made greek yogurt in small batches, but I make a huge batch now so I use a tea towel. I used a tea towel once for straining broth and had to throw it out. Ick ick ick. I totally forgot about using a coffee filter!!! Thanks for the reminder - my world is transformed

We eat ours too quickly to store any

How Long is it good for in the fridge?

I've been told four days. I've also been told not to skim skim the fat, allowing it to act as a seal. When they are ready to use it, they skim the fat off and use the broth. It is supposed to be good up to a week this way. (I'm still here, so I guess it works.....)

Aaand, I just found out there are special canning jars for freezing.

Three of mine broke in the freezer.

Is there any reason why a few of you have mentioned ACV? I never would think to put that in there. I'm not really knowledgable about the benefits of broth. I use the bones from my roasted chickens to make it a lot but I didn't realize it was good for us. Maybe I should make a point to make more and use it more frequently. Usually I use it to make soups or homemade cream of chicken for recipes.

Vinegar draws out the nutrients. I think another poster said they use balsamic. I am going to try that on my next batch.

Chaos Coordinator · 09-12-2012, 12:32 PM

I just made like 2.5 gallons of broth. There's no way we could use all of it in four days

A bunch of my jars broke in the freezer too

using ice cubes next time

Do you taste it?

shekinah · 09-12-2012, 02:36 PM

I use white vinegar and don't taste anything strange (and I haaate the taste of vinegar). You don't need to put in much. I use 1/2 cup, and my pot is a large water bath canner, maybe just over half full of bones and liquid. If using a crock pot, I'd probably use 1/8 cup of vinegar for the same ratio?

And a note about actually canning the stock from the discussion above, ya, I use my pressure canner for that. I wouldn't attempt to use a water one, as it wouldn't get hot enough for broth. Vegetables, meat, and soups are all done with pressure canner, whereas fruit is acidic enough to use water when canning it and making jams and all that.

Stiina · 09-12-2012, 03:06 PM

I use ACV (a glug in my crock pot - maybe 2-3 T) and you can't taste it at all.

thanks for the clarification re: pressure canner, Shekinah!

the acid just helps draw out the minerals.

I freeze mine in gallon ziploc bags.
