Sometimes you get lucky. When I decided to pour part of a batch of bone broth into a jar to freeze, I chose the right one through happenstance, and I didn't overfill it, so all went as hoped. Later that week, I got to the part in The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook that explained how important it is to use straight wide-mouthed jars for freezing (without "shoulders") to avoid cracking the glass when the contents expand. The book also mentioned the "fill line" that is on the jars, which I hadn't even noticed because of my MS vision. I'd luckily filled the jar right to the line!
Here's my latest frozen jar, pulled out to thaw. I thaw it overnight in the fridge. I've gotten into a pretty good routine with the broth now, I think. I use a large glass pitcher in the fridge, plus one of these pint jars in the freezer for each batch. As I'm getting to the bottom of the pitcher, I pull the jar out of the freezer. As I begin using what's in the jar, I start a new batch in the slow cooker. I'm having about 2 cups a day now, either in soups or in a mug with coconut milk.
