Ice cube trays - I freeze colostrum that I have milked from my newly kidded doe goats in the trays. Then keep the frozen cubes in a double bagged Ziploc bag. They can keep for a year. Makes it easy to freeze a couple out for a new baby kid who's mum doesn't have enough colostrum.

I make pesto and put into ice cube trays ready for any meal I want a "pesto" flavoring added. Once frozen I place in a zipper bag.
