Instructions
Carefully pull the carcass into 4 or 5 separate pieces using your hands and scissors.
Combine all of the ingredients into a stockpot and cover with 3 quarts of cold water (10-12 cups).
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, letting summer for around 2 hours. You’ll occasionally have to skim foam and fat from the surface with a large spoon or ladle.
Pour the mixture through a large mesh strainer into a separate pot and toss any solids into the garage.
Let cool and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
