Ham bone, 2 stalks Celery, 2 large Carrots, ½ Yellow onion, 2 cloves Garlic, 2 Bay leaves, 12 cups Water

Remove the lid and stir the broth well, then remove the bay leaves.
Pour the broth through very fine strainer or cheese cloth, then use in anything from soup to gravy to sipping from a cup!

This recipe is the perfect way to make use of a leftover ham bone. Store the bone in the freezer until you're ready to use it.
Once the the stock has cooked, set the bone aside and let it cool, then pick away the leftover meat. It should fall free from the bone easily and be ultra tender!
Vegetables and seasonings add even more great flavor, but in a pinch, you can make this stock with only the bone and water. It'll still taste great!
