Instructions
Add the all ingredients to a slow cooker or a large saucepan and fill with water until the water is covering all the ingredients.
Put on a low heat and simmer for as long as possible! I usually do mine in a large pot on the stove top and cook for 48 hours - you may have to keep topping up with water during the process as it will evaporate.
Once cooked remove all solids (bones/veggies) and drain through a sieve.
Allow to cool then scoop any solidified fat off the top - this fat can be stored in a seperate container in the fridge for a week and used to cook with!
Then either store in the fridge for about a week, or freeze it in portions! For babies I love to freeze in ice cube trays to quickly add to mashed veggies! I also freeze in containers or zip lock bags in 500ml portions to add to casseroles/soups/ cook grains in etc!
