How Long Does Chicken Broth Last?

How Do You Tell If Chicken Broth Is No Longer Good?

The first thing you can do to tell if your stock has gone bad is to smell it. Since the aroma change is usually distinct, this method is by far the best way to know if chicken stock is spoiled. If there appears to be a sour or “funny” smell from the broth, it’s time for it to go.

The Pros of Making and Canning Your Own Stocks

Bone broths, or stocks, provide excellent nutrition as well as flavor to any meals you might make using them. Making your own bone broth is simple, albeit time-consuming.

Supplies and Equipment

Have ready all of your equipment (clean, of course), except jars, such as:

Stage 1: Preparing Your Equipment

Wash (sterilize if necessary) and examine all jars (chips, cracks), rings (bent, excessive rust), and lids (misaligned rubber).

Preparing Your Canning Equipment

Select only proper, brand-name canning jars. Inspect them for chips, cracks, or other weaknesses. (A regular jar, such as a pickle jar, might not be able to take the heat and pressure during this process, and may break.)

Filling the Jars

Using a ladle and canning funnel, if desired, fill all jars to within about a 1" of the rim (the bottom of the rings). This measurement is called the required headspace, and allows the product to expand during boiling.

Stage 2: Preparing the Broth and Filling the Jars

The chicken meat was canned separately, with broth to cover. The extra broth is what I will be dealing with here.

Filling Canner

Put two quarts of water in the bottom of your pressure canner, and place the jars in it—six around the outside, and one in the center on a wire rack. Put the lid of the canner on, aligning the two marks on the lid and body of the canner (on the front), and tighten the screws down in opposite pairs, snugly.

How long can you store home canned goods?

We are advised to date home canned goods, and to regard one year from that as the “best before” date.

What the National Center for Home Food Preservation says about the shelf-life of home canned goods

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP) both say to try to use up your home canned goods within a year of making them. The reason is not so much for food safety, but rather for optimum food quality.

What Ball says about the shelf-life of home canned goods

That’s simply a USDA guideline and has been for a long time: the shelf life of your canned food is one year….. We always adhere to current USDA guidelines, and that is, once you preserve your food you have one year to eat that to get the best nutrient value out of that.” [3] Jessica Piper. Video: Canning Lids 101. 8:25. Accessed March 2015.

Shelf-life in general

That one year after canning date is your “best before” date. It does not mean, and is not intended to mean, you should throw it out.

Opened goods

Once you’ve opened a jar, of course, the rules change. Low-acid pressure canned foods — such as carrots or green beans — should have any leftovers stored in the fridge and used up in 2 to 3 days. High-acid foods such as pickles, relishes, chutneys, can be stored in the fridge for at least up to a year.

Good storage temperatures

The storage temperature will affect the shelf life of your canned goods.
