So, I'm at my parents house doing all the prep. work for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. I made turkey stock out of smoked wings and necks and once it cooled slightly, I poured it into mason jars to cool the rest of the way on the counter top. I fell asleep and woke up around, 11 a.m. to find that the stock was STILL sitting on the kitchen counter. Apparently, it didn't occur to anyone to refrigerate it.
My question is this:
Did it go bad? Can you leave freshly made stock sitting on the counter overnight without refrigeration? I put the two jars into the refrigerator as soon as I discovered them out, but I'm wondering if I should make a new batch. After all, there would be nothing worse than making your entire family sick on Thanksgiving.
