Can I freeze ham broth?

Yes, you can freeze ham broth, and it can be done in many ways. You can use glass containers such as mason jars to freeze your ham broth.

I use wide-mouth mason jars for my broths because, in my opinion, they are stronger than the other mason jars.

Plastic containers that are freezer-friendly are another great way to free your Instant Pot ham broth. I recommend trying a BPA-free container.

Zip Lock bags and other freezer-friendly bags are another way to freeze broth too. A quick and easy way to freeze your brother is to lay the back fully flat as this will allow the liquid to free at a faster pace.

One tip you should know before freezing your broth is to allow enough room in the container or bag for the liquid to expands.

When the broth freezes, it expands so make sure you don’t overfill your containers. Also, make sure you label your containers with the date and the name.

How to defrost ham broth?

Ham both can be defrosted by placing the frozen container in the refrigerator 24 hours before use.
