The fruits of my labors these past two days....

Here are some of the fruits of my labors the past couple days. I am so blessed and have enjoyed the time preparing these foods. I am thankful for how wonderful the broth turned out. I was actually very surprised. It is wonderful. And it makes it even better knowing that it is not full of preservatives or sodium. I think I probably enjoyed a total of 3 or 4 cups (measuring cups) throughout the day. Out of the two stock pots used, I was able to get around 20 qts of broth. I saved some out and am going to make chicken soup tomorrow.


straining the broth with a very fine strainer. It worked awesome
