Making Stock


Today I boiled the carcasses from yesterday. The two largest pots I own were filled to the top with onions, carrots, garlic, celery and salt and pepper and of course chickens. I set the pots to simmer all day. My kitchen was filled delicious smells. While the stock simmered I canned the tomatoes harvested yesterday. Once the stock was done I strained it and picked the bits of chicken from the bones to freeze for something down the road.. Two gallons! I let the stock cool and stuck it in the fridge. Tomorrow I will skim any fat and can it.
