I was very lucky with a large pot of venison stock a couple of years
ago, I normally put my stock pot on the wood heater so that it's only
*just* simmering, which I did in this instance but then forgot about
it and went to bed... next morning I got to it just in time and had
soft, pliable taffy-like stock, which was great to cut into cubes
Normally I don't reduce stock anywhere near that much and put (liquid)
portions of it into zip-lock bags and then into the freezer.
