Canyon Ranch Chicken Stock
Ingredients
| * | 2 to 4 lbs. chicken parts, except the liver |
| * | 3 quarts cold water |
| * | 2 carrots, peeled and chopped |
| * | 2 celery ribs without leaves, chopped |
| * | 1 large onion, cut into quarters |
| * | 4 fresh garlic cloves, cut into halves |
| * | 1 bay leaf |
| * | 12 whole peppercorns |
Instructions
| 1 | Place chicken bones and parts in a shallow baking dish and bake in a 350 degree oven until golden brown, approximately 35 to 45 minutes. Drain off and discard excess fat. |
| 2 | Place browned bones and parts in a large pot, add cold water and bring to a boil. Add remaining ingredients. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, skimming off any foam that comes to the surface. Do not stir, and do not allow to boil again. Let stock cool slightly for easier handling. |
| 3 | Line a kitchen strainer or colander with a double thickness of cheesecloth and set over a large bowl or pot in the kitchen sink. Strain stock through cheesecloth, pouring slowly and steadily so as not to stir up sediments. Discard the dregs. Cool. |
| 4 | Refrigerate until fat is solid on the surface. Remove fat. |
| 5 | Refrigerate or store in small portions in the freezer. |
