Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a stew kettle, combine bones and gristle, breaking the bones thoroughly.

  2. Rub fresh meat with coarse sea salt and place it in cold water to extract juices.

  3. Bring the water to a boil, skimming off any scum that rises.

  4. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer, ensuring the water covers the meat.

  5. Simmer without interruption for best flavor and appearance.
