Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef and/or veal bones, with some meat attached
  • 2 quarts cold water
  • 1 carrot, peeled and quartered
  • 1 onion studded with 2 cloves
  • 2 small celery ribs with leaves,
  • 3 sprigs parsley and 3 sprigs oregano, tied together with kitchen string

Directions

1

Place the bones in a large stockpot, add the cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat.

Let boil 5 minutes, and skim off as much of the foam and fat that has risen to the surface as possible.

Reduce the heat and add the carrot, onion, and herb bundle.

4

Simmer partly covered over low heat, skimming occasionally, 2 to 2-1/2 hours.

5

Strain the broth, and let cool, if possible, over a bowl of ice.

6

Refrigerate overnight, and remove the fat that has congealed on the surface.

7

This broth will keep 3 to 4 days refrigerated or up to 6 months in the freezer.
