Guest guest Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I made some bone broth last week and put the excess in the freezer in glass jars. Never one to proceed cautiously, I guess, I ended up with 4 broken wide-mouth Ball jars. The one jar from Tropical Traditions coconut oil withstood the expansion of the broth. It was the straightest jar of the bunch (not much curve at the neck). (It was interesting to see that the expansion seemed to occur over several days' time.) Do I need to purchase jars specifically for freezer use in order to be able to freeze the bone broth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 , I had jars bust on the first batch of stock I tried to freeze in glass too. but it was a big batch, maybe 8 or 9 quarts had to be thrown out :-(. I actually mostly freeze in quart size plastic containers now, just for my peace of mind. but now that I think of it, my husband recently put some stock away for me in jars and they are fine. The trick is not to fill them too full. Leave a good couple inches with no stock at the top, to give them room to expand and you shouldn't have any problems. You don't need to buy special freezer safe jars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
