I’m blushing when I tell you an old boyfriend showed me how to make my first homemade stock.

Most fabulous cacciatore!
I thought he was crazy saving all the vegetable scraps in a stock pot and covering them with water.
It was time to take a closer look at my cooking.
Homemade Stock
Who knew?
Save your scraps to make homemade stock.
I feel good when I get the fullest value out of my food.
That’s why I save every vegetable skin, peel, end, and trimming in a storage container in my freezer.
Even bones.
How To
Fill your stock pan with the peels, trimmings, etc.
Add a glug of vinegar if using leftover meat bonesTo release minerals to your stock
Cover with water
simmer for at least 30 minutes
Cool Slightly and strain
Use immediately or freeze
