Bouillon-like Freezer Squares from Bone Broth
Ingredient
1 Quart of Homemade Bone Broth that has been chilled and the fat removed from the top
Directions
1. Pour broth into a medium sized sauce pan
2. Dip a wooden skewer into the broth and mark the level so you can see how far it reduces later on
3. Simmer broth over medium/high heat, allowing it to reduce
A quart takes about an hour to reduce
4. Place skewer in pot to check level of reduction from time to time
5. Once your broth has reduced by ¾, remove your pot from the stove
The broth is now more of a jelly/syrup consistency and no longer a thin liquid
6. Pour your reduced broth into a dish, bowl, or mold and put it into the fridge to chill completely
7. Cut your solidified concentrated broth into 4 equal portions
Since we rendered 1 quart of broth, dividing our rendered broth into 4 equal portions, each will reconstitute into 1 cup of broth
8. Store bouillon in the freezer in a jar or freezer bag
9. Reconstitute in boiling water to make broth or add to soups and stews for a richer flavor
