INGREDIENTS:
2 carcasses
Hand full of onion skin/peels
End pieces of carrots, a few
End pieces of celery, a few
1 bay leaf
1 tsp salt
Place all ingredients in crock pot, then fill with water. Cook down 16-36 hours. Keep checking level of broth and add water if dropping. Cool. Strain and store in mason jars. Store in fridge.
Every time we cook meals with carrots, celery, or onions; we store the peels and normal discards in the freezer for broth making. The onion peels is what gives broth its dark color. Also, you don’t want more than 1-2 inches of water cooked down, as this will make the broth very strong. If that happens, just add water to it while it’s cooking.
