Weekend project

This is my big project for the last weekend.  Chicken stock.  The house smelled like comfort food all weekend.

Stock of any type, chicken, beef, pork even vegetable takes a good while.  As with any stock you first roast your ingredients. A meat stock begins with bones roasted at a low temp for several hours. Even a quick roast on veggies deepen their flavor before they simmer on the stove.

Now I also defat the stock almost completely. Almost? Yea. . . Most stocks but Especially chicken stock benefits from a little fat. 

I have to go now.  Trixie is insisting I take a nap now.l  More later.  Nite, nite!
