Directions
1. Place all the ingredients in an 8-quart stock pot and cover with cold

remove any impurities that rise to the top by skimming with a ladle
2. Reduce the heat and simmer the stock for 3 to 4 hours, continuing to
skim impurities from time to time while the stock cooks. Taste after 3
hours for the strength of stock you want. Remove from the heat and let the
stock sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then ladle through a fine strainer
3. Once strained, remove the fat from the stock by skimming with a ladle
(see note). Cool by placing the container of strained stock in and ice
water bath, then refrigerate. The stock will keep for about 1 week in the
refrigerator, or freeze in 1-cup batches.
Note: Another way to defat the stock is to place the cooled stock in the
refrigerator overnight. The fat will set on the top and can be easily
spooned off.
Variation: Use a 5- to 6-pound roasting chicken instead of bones; use the
