Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 4 hours, skimming occasionally.Once the stock has simmered and reduced, strain and reserve stock for Asian recipes.Stock may be frozen.

Discard all other solids.TO CAN – Cool broth/stock and discard excess fat (either chill it where the fat solidifies or just skim it off with a spoon). Reheat broth to boiling and fill jars, leaving 1-inch headspace. Wipe rims of jars with a dampened clean paper towel.
