It's SO EASY!...You NEED to make chicken broth! It's SO EASY! I keep a gallon zip-top bag in my freezer and save the trimmings from vegetables until it's full. I use everything. (Cabbage makes stock bitter, though, so skip it). Carrots, onions, potato skins, and apple cores are the best - they make nice sweet stock. I've also started adding an acorn squash if I think of it... it helps thicken the stock slightly and rounds out the flavor nicely. <br /><br />Then when I roast (or buy roasted) a whole chicken, the carcass and the bag of frozen veggie bits go in the giant pot with 8-12 cups water (however much will fit) and do a nice slow boil for an hour... or two, or three or all day if I'm busy. Strain out the gross bits, skim off the fat at the top, and freeze in 1 or 2 cup portions in zip-top bags. <br /><br />Make your brown rice with broth instead of water... makes my heart go pitter patter!!!!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708452352541805227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4121910951680034053.post-6830711728944848912010-06-21T14:43:08.162-04:002010-06-21T14:43:08.162-04:00Yum!
