Cup of Yum
Stovetop instructions
- Place all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil over medium high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Simmer for about 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
- Use tongs to discard solids and strain stock into a large bowl using a fine mesh strainer and cool.
- Divide between containers or glass jars, and store for later use, or use immediately.
Notes
- This recipe is easily adapted for other bones and carcasses like chicken, pork, beef or lamb.
- Use any fresh herbs you have leftover from Thanksgiving for a more flavorful stock.
- When you strain the stock it will be very hot so take care. I like to use a large ladle or a jug and do it bit by bit.
