Broth

Broth is easy, especially with a few secret ingredients. Take the bones and skin left over from making Roast Stickey Chicken, add a broth pack from the freezer, this consists of backs, necks, and the secret ingredient. Cover with water and add some raw apple cider vinegar. Let this set for about an hour before turning on the stove. While it is warming up, chop up some onions, celery and carrots and toss into the pot. When it starts to boil, skim off any foam that rises to the top. Let it simmer for at least 24 hours, or more if you are busy. Here is a picture after two days, there is the secret ingredient.

Next strain the broth, here is my set up for straining:
When the broth cools some, strain it through a smaller strainer into containers and freeze, don't forget to leave some space for expansion in the freezer.
The secret ingredient, allows the broth to set on a plate.
