Chef’s Tips

You will probably want to reduce the stock down after you have strained it to strengthen the flavours.

So you can have your stock on hand at any time , freeze stock in 1 or 2 cup sized containers. Margarine containers are great for this as they are approx 2 cups or for 1 cup use plastic or paper coffee cups. Pour in the stock Freeze stock until frozen . Remove from the container and place stock in a double freezer bag , seal and freeze until required.
