Reduce heat and simmer for hours and hours until stock is reduced
by at least half. The more you reduce it, the easier it is to store-
you can always thin it at cook time.
I use the ends/clippings/peelings/scraps from whatever I'm cooking to
make stock, so the exact recipe varies from time to time. If I don't
have enough to make stock, I freeze the scraps until I get a pots worth.
A French cookbook will tell you to use a bouquet garni' in the stock-
it's made from a combination of spices- I think it's the Simon and
Garfunkel mix (parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme)- wrapped in cheesecloth,
tied with a string, and dangled in the stock for part of the simmering.
Anyway, when you're done, strain the stock, cool and freeze the liquid,
