- 1 Tablespoon Salt

Don’t brown the bones as you want a clear broth and browning the bones will make broth cloudy.

- Places onion halves, shallots and ginger on a sheet pan (no oil) and roast for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes add to the stock pot, now you can also add the remaining ingredients
- Bring the stock to a simmer and hold there cooking for 8-10 hours
Make sure broth does not boil, just keep a nice steady simmer
- Strain stock with cheesecloth and a colander ensuring no fat, seeds, bones or sediment end up in the finished stock.
- The stock is ready to be used or let cool and put in gallon zip lock bags- freeze for future use.
