Homemade Chicken Stock


Description

Perfect addition to all of your homemade baby purées. It's so easy and good that you will also want to use it for all of your favourite winter meals - soups, stews, chilies and even risottos. And you know that is home made, no any "chemicals" involved if you use organic chicken and vegetables.

Ingredients

1-2 chicken carcasses or 4-6 chicken breast bones
2 onions, roughly chopped
2 carrots, roughly chopped
2 celeries , roughly chopped
2 oregano or rosemary stems
10 peppercorns
1 tbsp dried thyme

Directions

In a large pot, combine all of the ingredients. Fill pot with cold water until everything is covered by an inch of water, roughly 8 cups of water.

Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce heat to a gentle simmer for 4-5 hours, skimming fat off of surface every so often.

Pour all ingredients through a fine colander into another large pot. If you find that some of the chunks got through, strain again. Store stock in a large air tight container.

If freezing, fill ice cube trays or freezer containers and freeze immediately.

Once the stock cools, you will see white chunks of fat. You can either remove these or keep them in for additional flavour and nutrients. Once you heat the stock again, they will dissolve.
