  • You will be converted Marion - you will never throw away another carcass!!

    In a big pan, put
    the carcas,
    an onion (you can leave the skin on, just cut off anything 'dirty' - the skin adds colour - cut into 4),
    maybe a stick of celery (I usually have some looking tired in the fridge)
    a carrot,
    5 pepper corns (no salt),
    a bay leaf,
    and anything else you think is a good idea.

    Put enoughh water to cover the chicken.

    Bring to boil - lid on, simmer for 1-2 hours (more if you can bear it)

    strain into a bowl, pop in the fridge. When cool, as you say, you can remove the fat.

    Obviously, there are 101 ways to do this, but this is my way :D

    On the subject above how long does chicken stock keep in the fridge? I've got some I never got round to making soup out of and I'm a bit afraid of opening the tub now as to what I'll find!

    On a much lighter note I had another meeting today. My work have found me suitable alternative work - Personal Assistant to the seven(:eek:) Group Directors! I've done PA for one before but for seven! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: My OH was laughing his a&*e off when he phoned me just now! :grin: Thanks for all your wishes though! :T

    Thanks for that angie loves veg!:j I was going to use my pressure cooker as it is the biggest pot I own. Do you think 30 minutes in there at high pressure will do the trick?

    yay for skint_catt!!:T:T:T:beer:
    Love

    Retiredlady - bring to boil, with lid and weights on and listen for the HISS and then 15-20 mins mins should do it I reckon. Hope you like it!:D

    Thanks all, I'm still grinning from ear to ear. Had a good day today except a penguin, but well within my syns (are the 5 or 6 syns - can someone confirm for me?) plus 4.5 for a cereal bar. Now off to Mum n Dads for dinner which will be well within my free/Heb foods (its ALWAYS meat n two veg - nice small portions :rotfl: )
