Notes & Wine Advice
Use stock in 3 to 4 days, or for longer storage, pack stock in freezer containers, label and freeze. Be sure to pack the stock in containers with about the amount of stock you anticipate using in a recipe, for example, 2 cups. Freeze for up to 3 months. To use, thaw the stock overnight in the refrigerator.
