Ingredients
-
3 -4 lbs chicken bones (raw or cooked, boiling fowl or chicken or carcasses)
-
celery, chopped
-
10 black peppercorns, approx
-
1 bay leaves or 1 bouquet garni
-
parsley
-
boiling water
-
onions, chopped or quartered leave the skin on it gives nice color to the stock
-
1 garlic clove (to taste)
-
carrot, chopped
-
1 small leek, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the crock-pot on high.
- Try breaking up the bones as small as possible, place with all the other ingredients in the crock-pot.
- Cover with as much boiling water your crock-pot can take, I can add approx 6 cups of water.
- Switch to LOW and cook for 12 or up to 24 hours.
- Strain, cool, skim of the fat, use the stock or freeze.
- If there is any meat on the bones, remove it and use for the soup or other dishes, it will be also good for a ragout.
- Enjoy!
