Basic Stock
To make stock, you take your left over carcass after taking the meat off and put it in a pot of boiling water. You may want to put the carcass in cheesecloth and tie the end for easy removal. Boil the carcass in the water for about an hour or more then remove. At that point add your spices, chopped celery, onions and garlic. If you have fresh herbs to add you can put these things in cheesecloth as well to remove if you like. I have children who cringe at the sight of onion so this way I can remove the onion before they realize it is there. If there is not enough flavor you can add some chicken bullion as well. There are some great organic alternatives for this as well. You can separate and freeze your stock for future use if you don’t want to use it right away.
