5 lb Duck, parts, (backs,

2 lg Onions, coarsely chopped
2 md Carrots, peeled, trimmed

2 Garlic, cloves, crushed
1 bn Parsley, stems

1 pn Thyme, dried
1 Bay leaf
1/2 ts Salt, coarse
6 Peppercorns
Wash duck parts well and place them in a large
stockpot.
Add cold water to cover by about 2 inches and
slowly bring to a boil, skimming all of the froth from
the surface as it forms.
Lower the heat and add all of the remaining
ingredients except the peppercorns. Simmer,
uncovered, for 3 hours. Add water as needed to cover
the ingredients and skim when necessary.
Add peppercorns for the last fifteen minutes of
the simmering process.
Strain the "soup" into a large bowl through a
colander lined with a double layer of dampened
cheesecloth. Gently press the solids to extract all
of the liquid possible.
Discard the solids and cool the liquid to room
temperature.
Refrigerate until chilled and lift off the solid
fat that forms at the surface. Discard the fats.
Pour the stock into containers for storage, label
and date.
Stock keeps for about 3 days in the refrigerator,
and up to six months in the freezer.
Yield: 3 to 4 quarts
