Homemade veggie stock

Do you guys follow Tasty on social media?  I do!  I saw this recipe the other day and decided to give it a try: using leftover veggie scraps to make homemade stock.  How did I not think of this sooner?  I’m all about convenience and sometimes it’s just easier to buy veggie stock at the grocery store, but I also don’t mind making my own (when I have enough time and freezer space).  One of the best things about this recipe is that you’re getting a second use out of the veggie scraps, plus it means you don’t have to buy fresh produce that you’re just going to boil to death…

As the video suggested, I placed my veg in a stock pot, covered with water, brought to a boil and let it simmer for 30 minutes.  After those first 30 minutes, I let it simmer for another 30 to let the flavours really intensify.  I did add in some extra garlic cloves and sea salt

The stock came out perfectly!  I used mason jars and ice cube trays to store it once the stock cooled.  This recipe was so easy and one that I’m for sure to use again.
