Household Stock

Hi, today we thought that  we should give you a Free basic stock recipe that Grandma always  kept on hand so that she could use as a basis for various kinds of soups, sauces, and gravies, or as a broth for making casserole dishes.  Household stock can be frozen once made.  It may take awhile to make but it is so worth while.

HOUSEHOLD STOCK

3 qt. cold water
3 lb. meat (trimmings of fresh  meat, bones, and tough pieces  from roasts, steaks, etc.)
1 medium-sized onion
4 cloves
6 peppercorns
Herbs
Salt
Pepper

Place the meat and bones into a large saucepan and pour the cold water over them.  Place the saucepan onto the cooker and allow to boil. When they come to a
boil skim well. Then cover with saucepan lid and simmer 4 to 6 hours. Add the onion, cloves, peppercorns, and herbs and cook for an additional hour. Add salt and pepper to taste. Strain and set aside to cool. Remove the fat.  This stock is the bases of many homemade soups.
