Servings: persons

2-3 chicken carcasses
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
2-3 large carrots, scrubbed clean and chopped
3 stalks celery with leafy tops, chopped
6 garlic cloves, peeled and cut in half
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
Water to cover (about 15-20 cups)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (helps to draw the minerals out of the bones and into the stock)
1 bunch parsley, rinsed
Sea salt to taste

1
Put all your ingredients (except for the parsley) into a large stock pot and bring to a boil.
2
Skim off all of the the foam that has risen to the top.
3
Reduce heat to simmer and continue to periodically skim off the foam, if necessary.
4
Simmer for at least two hours or as long as overnight (I usually simmer mine for about 8 hours). The longer you simmer it, the more flavorful it will be, but keep in mind that it will reduce and you will end up with less.
5
Ten minutes before it has finished cooking, add the parsley (you can leave it in the bundle, rubber band and all).
6
When it has finished cooking, allow to cool a bit and then sample your broth. Add sea salt to taste.
7
Strain the broth and refrigerate for a few hours. Any fat in the broth will congeal at the top and can be easily strained off, if you like.
8
Your stock is now ready for use or you can package it up and put it in the the freezer (I store mine in quart sized plastic containers).
