Freezing Stock

Some recipes require just a little stock, and the leftovers from a whole can won't keep forever in the refrigerator. Freezing unused stock or a homemade batch in 1-cup muffin tins makes it easy to store in small amounts.

Use a 1 cup measure to ensure accurate measuring. Fill tins with stock and freeze, covered.

Once they are completely frozen, pop portions out of tin; store them in resealable plastic bags labeled with the date (frozen stock keeps for about two months).

If you need smaller amounts you can also choose to free stock by Tablespoonfuls in an ice cube tray.
