Chicken Broth

You buy the great big thing of chicken broth.  You use the two cups that your recipe calls for.  What do you do with this giant can of broth with 4 cups of broth in it?  Simple.  Ice Cube Trays.  You'll need 1 for each two cups of broth.  Fill, freeze and then put in to a freezer bag for future use.  Of course, measuring...well there is two cups per tray, so it stands to reason that 12 cubes would be 2 cup and 6 cubes would be a cup and well, I'll let you complete your own division.  I've never seen a recipe that calls for less than a cup of broth so you should be safe with the tablespoons and such. 

You can also do this with wine...not sure why you would, but if you have a partial bottle of wine you can put it in the ice cube trays and they will freeze and you can use them for cooking.  However, if you have a nice bottle of wine, I'd just drink it...that seems like a no brainer.  I assume this is for the bottle that you bought cause the bottle looks neat but the wine tastes like grape juice strained through an old sock, but then...why would you put that wine in your food?

Happy Saving.
