How to Freeze Homemade Stock

ByOKHomesteader

Freezing homemade chicken stock is a great way to preserve its flavor and nutrition. Let the stock cool completely, then strain out any solids. Pour into freezer-safe containers, leaving space for expansion. Ice cube trays or souper cubes are perfect for small portions. Once frozen, transfer cubes to a labeled freezer bag. Stock keeps well in the freezer for up to 6 months.
