How
To Make Stock From Bones
Beef bones are
the best for this stock; break them up very small with a chopper,
put them into a large saucepan and cover well with cold water, add
two teaspoonfuls of salt, and when it boils up remove the scum carefully,
and put in one onion, one carrot, half a turnip, a little piece
of the outside stalk of celery, and one dozen peppercorns.
Boil steadily
for six hours, or longer, then strain off through a colander or
sieve, and stand in a cool place till the next day.
Carefully remove
the fat by directions given elsewhere, and it is ready for use.
This stock is a good foundation for all soups, gravies, and sauces.
