Veal Stock and White Veal Stock

So on my first day I have to tell you that I did burn my stock. I know what you are thinking, How? Well the White Veal Stock needed to be reduced down to 3 quarts and I had 6 so I put it back in a pot and turned it on. This was about 7 pm and I was going to go to Knott's Scary Farm and i thought I could just leave it on simmer and come back home at 2 am and it would be fine. As soon as I walked into my house I knew what had happened. I could smell burnt stock. I walked into the kitchen to face my fears and there it was a pot covered in black. I cleaned the pot out and decided to go to bed kicking my self. Next morning I got up and went back to the market to get more bones for the stock, I got 20 pounds because I also had to make Veal Stock. So hint hint, don't leave the house if you have stock going.

I blanched both pots of bones and finished the White Veal first and it was really nice and clear. It went threw the cheesecloth with no problem what so ever. For the Veal Stock in the book it says to strain the stock several times to get out all the impurities so before i did the final reduction of the stock I strained it threw cheesecloth because I know if I didnt then all the little particals in the stock would absorb the liquid and I would have a smaller yield. Both stocks smelled great and they both had nice body to them. In both of these stocks I did add a calf's foot to add more body to them so that helped.

Up next is Chicken Stock.
