Step 7Pour stock into containers
I try to store the broth in containers of varying size so that I have flexibility in how much I want to use at one time. At this point, I almost always store the stock in the deep freeze. Occasionally I'll fill several quart canning jars with stock and store them in the fridge if I know that I'm going to be using them within a week.
If there are any large pieces of meat left, I usually pick those out and add them to the dogs' next meal. Any meat left doesn't have much flavor left in it because the flavor is all in the thick, beautiful stock.
It really helps to label the stock if you plan to keep a couple of different kinds of homemade stock on hand in your freezer.
I really want to reiterate something important. The process of making homemade chicken broth or stock takes several hours, but it does NOT require a lot of work. Most of the time, the crockpot is doing the heavy lifting. Once this stock is in your freezer, it takes no more time to USE than commercially-prepared stock.
The flavors of this stock are vastly superior to store-bought stock. There is no added sodium. If you're interested in making turkey stock, check out My Sister's Kitchen. The process is similar and the results are delicious.
This homemade stock is a great example of slowing down to eat well.
Enjoy,

![[Collegiate Meals] Chicken Soup for the Healthy](http://img.instructables.com/files/deriv/F5T/IXTG/OTKEYNDX0BJ/F5TIXTGOTKEYNDX0BJ.SQUARE.jpg)
I slow cooked a chicken (7hrs) to feed my game group yesterday. After I collected the bones and we started game, I went back over to the crock pot (which had left over veggies from the roast process), poured all the bones + remaining carcass in, and set it for 12 hours and forgot about it for the rest of the night (Best part! Hahaha). I just woke up and strained it, and now I have *perfect* broth waiting to be canned up :)
Thank you!!!
