Notes

  • Additional vegetable / herb options: 
  • Basically, any vegetable or fresh herb that you have in your fridge that needs to be used before going bad is a good option!  We also use Green onions, rosemary, marjoram, and celery salt.   
  • Storing:
  • Storing:
  • Be sure to allow your stock to cool before storing it in the fridge or freezer. By not allowing it to cool and then storing, the container won't cool all the way and the heat from the stock will raise the temperature in the fridge which could affect the other foods in the fridge. However, be mindful that there is a risk for bacteria to grow on food left out at room temperature for more than 2 hrs, so even if your stock isn't completely cool, that's ok. There's a greater risk of bacteria for warm stock being left out for more than 2 hrs than storing warm food in the fridge.
