Now, I am not sure of the science behind it, but I do know that it won't! :) <br /><br />Just b/c of stock doesn't gel, it is still good! It will just have a little less gelatin in it for your joints, and gut lubrication. If you don't have a problem with "natural MSG" than you could always add a packet of flavorless gelatin to your stock! <br /><br />Hope that helps! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15732175149596165906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-360625155650871284.post-64699090228094933342009-11-07T00:37:50.286-08:002009-11-07T00:37:50.286-08:00Ellie, We both must have stock on the brain.

I like to save up scraps of veggies in the freezer to add when I am making stock (tops of celery/carrots, onion peels, etc.) I don't have a compost pile and this was the best way to use all of the produce I buy.<br />Question-I don't usually get a gelatinous stock like some people get. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong (if anything). Any suggestions?Jacqualinehttp://www.joycomesfromwithin.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-360625155650871284.post-2576247007540838002009-11-07T00:21:57.666-08:002009-11-07T00:21:57.666-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944287383688242050noreply@blogger.com
