Dehydrating stock/broth
 

Reporting back as requested:

I had about 5 pints of stock in the freezer which I defrosted and poured
into a tray to dehydrate. It never became brittle and it was like a sheet
of taffy; very pliable. So I rolled it up and cut it into slices and put
them into a baggie. I wouldn't want to bag it and leave it on the shelf as
I do my dried veg, but even it I freeze it, it will take much less space
than all those pots of stock.

So, will I do it again? Yes:)

Good going! Instead of fruit roll-ups* you made stock roll-ups. :)

*fruit roll-ups are a commercial snack food I associate with getting
kids to eat more fruit, although I'm sure they're mostly sugar.

They are and they will keep fine unfrozen because of the sugar content I
suspect. I daren't do that with these. But the difference in volume is
marked:)

You know, if you added sugar you might create a new snack food craze. ;)

THANKS! Just curious... did you rehydrate any for say: a cup of soup?
If so, what were your proportions of stock to water?

Dehydrating might be the answer to my freezer capacity issue. Thanks

No, I haven't but I don't see any reason why not. I just add it to hot
water in things I cook until it tastes right:)

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.

WOW! You were very lucky! I got my 'taffy' but without the stress:)))

I've been reducing it well and storing it in the freezer in tubs. Doing it
this way will save a lot of space:))

Onwards and upwards to the next project <g>

What will be your next project?
Sadly I haven't had enough spare time to devote to such things in the
kitchen for the past few months, beyond making basic meals. Would be
nice to get back into making stock, pickles, etc...

I intend to work on drying veg. Small amounts and then rehydrating in
various ways to see which I like best. I've had this dehydrator for a very
long time, but I bought it when I was working and since I retired, I've been
travelling with DH, so I am hoping to have more time now.

Good luck that you can get back to it soon. I love my time in the kitchen
and find it very soothing:))

I reduce mine quite a lot, freeze it in an ice cube tray and then
place the cubes into a ziplock bag. Each cube is about right for
one person.

I should start by making larger volumes and reducing it more. It
would probably work for me if I froze it in ice cube trays and kept
the cubes in a baggie. That way I could pull out a cube to enrich
gravy and hubby could use it with some water to make his cup of soup
for lunch.

One person for what? I use quite a lot in making sauces etc. I use enough
until it tastes the way I want it.

He must be if he dehydrated wet snuff. I would just throw it out and use

Used to be industrious. I had this brilliant plan to make my own snuff pills to save a few bucks. I took a big glass jar of Garret snuff which is real snuffy taste but is more of a powder and it real messy. So I made like a mud pie out of it using water and added a can or two of Copenhagen..which is sorta wet like worm dirt. Spread it out in the dehydrator till it was about 3/4 dried out then score it into little squares. Taste much better than the store bought pills and much cheaper. Just put a square twixt cheek and gum as they say. Only Limeys suck it up their nose...at least judging from old movies.

I always freeze most of it. I'll just save out enough for a day or
two. As far as how long it will last? I don't eat the soup every
day. I save most of it for days when I'm not feeling so well.....like
my body is fighting off a cold. This is when you want to come home
from work and eat a very healthy dinner (the soup), take a long hot
shower, and go to bed early. Most times, I can skip an illness by
doing these precautions.

Good thinking! You are right. A pot of good soup can be very soothing and
satisfying when you are not feeling well.
