Is it possible to use beef stock or broth instead of the bouillon cubes,…if so, how much would I need to add at time of cooking? Also, I never keep oj concentrate on hand and would prefer to use just regular oj (not from concentrate) instead of only a small amount of a can I would have to otherwise purchase, how much of traditional oj would be needed?
One bouillon cube or 1 teaspoon of granules dissolved in 1 cup of boiling water may be substituted for 1 cup of broth in any recipe. This would actually be adding more liquid to this recipe.
Orange extract would be a better substitute and 1 TBSP of sugar.
Do you dissolve the bullion cubes?
They dissolve when cooking 🙂 Liquids from the meat will dissolve.
I’m interested if anyone has tried this in their Instant Pot? More often than not, I forget to put the ingredients in the Crockpot before I leave for work and get home and realize I need to make it quickly (and the Instant Pot saves me!).
How long do they stay good for in the freezer in zip lock bags?
3-6 months.
