By Hester

Ingredients

• 7 -10 beef bones with marrow (or use any beef bones with a little meat left on them)
• 6 ounces tomato paste
• 2 onions, chopped (leave the skin on onions)
• 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes (optional)
• 8 -10 black peppercorns
• 2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
• cold water (enough to cover the bones)

Servings 8

Preparation

Step 1

1 Place the bones on a greased baking sheet and brush liberally with tomato paste (use only tomato paste not tomato sauce).

2 Bake at 350 degrees F turning once during baking.

3 Bake for about 25 minutes on each side or until browned.

4 Place in the crock pot or large stock pot along with remaining ingredients, then add in enough water to cover.

5 Cover and cook on low for 12-24 hours OR on HIGH for 6 hours (if cooked on high setting the stock will be lighter in color and less concentrated) or if cooking on the stove top simmer on lowest heat for about 4-6 hours.

6 Remove from crock pot or stock pot; strain and refrigerate.

7 The stock will keep well for 4-5 days or may be frozen.

8 Note: veal bones may be replaced for beef bones.

9 **Note** you may certainly use more than the amount stated for beef bones, the more used then the richer the stock.
