Delicious Recipes to Empty Your Freezer & Bonus Ideas
It’s time to empty my freezers. I decided to clean out my deep freezers and pull out some items from my everyday freezer to make some recipes.
I pulled out tomatoes from the summer garden, beef bones, and veggie scraps.
So I’m going to use these things to make some spaghetti sauces and some beef broth. (And, there’s a bonus recipe at the end!)
1. Beef broth
I went ahead and grabbed some veggie scraps and peels I had in my fridge and freezer that needed to be used up like onions and celery. I do not buy extra veggies for this recipe–I keep scraps in freezer bags.
I just dumped all of what I already had into my roaster pan. For seasoning, I added bay leaves, oregano, minced garlic, and garlic powder – it really depends on what you have on hand. I salt it right before I can it.
2. Spaghetti sauce
Here’s everything I made and canned!
3. Bonus: Homemade vanilla
Top it with the bourbon whiskey. Label the jars and let them sit in a dark place for about six months. There are quicker recipes but I like this one. I’ll shake the bottles every once in a while.
