I have made a chicken stock in mine which is now cooled whats the best thing to do with it now, i.e how long will it keep and what sort of portions should I store it in if I was to freeze? As you can tell I am a bit of a novice when it comes to making stock. Please help

mine is having a rest today - yesterday I cooked a whole chicken which we had for dinner last night (we're having left overs in a pie tonight) then I put the carcas in overnight & made stock which I have just strained & am cooling before popping in the freezer

Last night I did,

Diced pork Shoulder, browned with onions, garlic and apple slices. into the SC, deglazed the pan with a bottle of (homemade turbo) cider, into the SC with a dollop of Apple sauce.

Very very nice tender meat, with a lovely rich sauce, if anrthing just slightly sweet. served with mash and carrots and peas.

Making pork stock for a pork broth with barley, and a pork and pea soup, will also use leftovers with loads of veg to make a pork stew.

Not bad to make two lunches and two teas for about a fivers worth of ingredients

I made broccolli & stilton soup (stilton to be added before serving) yesterday for today's lunch. Soup is always better the next day :j

Soon to be turkey, and chickpea curry, made from the uncooked christmas turkeys legs.

I shall use approx a 1/3 jar of Pataks madras curry paste, 200 to 300 ml water, a tin of chickpeas, an onion, garlic, grated ginger, coriander, allspice, chopped tomatoes, and creamed coconut.

I plan to make a stock from the bones tonight.

Today is a rest day, cos yesterday I cooked soooooo much bolognaise sauce I made lasagne with it for tomights tea. Tomorrow I shall be doing a chilli in it with cubes of braising steak and NO kidney beans (bleurgh in our house!!)

I can finally join in on this thread (been lurking a while)!! I treated myself to a slow cooker on Sunday. Had my first go yesterday - made a chicken and mango curry and it turned out pretty well! Can't wait to try something else. Thanks so much for inspiring me!!
