Saturday as I was packaging chicken for the freezer, I came upon the necks, butts, and wishbones. I did not want to freeze them. I knew we would not eat them, but I didn't want them to go to waste. Whats a girl to do? I made chicken stock. The recipe is super easy.
Assorted Chicken Pieces
3 Stocks Celery
2 Small Onions
5 Baby Carrots
5 Cloves of Garlic
Fresh Basil
Fresh Sage
Fresh Thyme
Water
I started by tying up my herbs in cheese cloth, so I would have a easier time making sure my broth was clear. I then added everything to my crock pot and letting its simmer for over 24 hours, on low.

| This is what would have been in my broth. |
After I let it simmer on low for 24 hours I strain the broth. All of my cheese cloth was dirty so I used a clean washcloth. I will bag this up and freeze it. If you wish to can this head over to
The Welcoming House. Heather is amazing, and a canning genius. She just finished doing a canning spotlight on meat. I on the other hand have never used my pressure canner.
