Bacon Bone Stock

Our freezers are over flowing with secondary bits of goodness from our cattle and pigs. It’s stock time. Here is a comforting recipe that I can get a start on.

Pea & Ham Soup

The key ingredient in this recipe is the slow cooked bacon bone stock. I bought 700g of bacon bones and cooked them together on slow for 8 hours with 4L of water and 3 carrots. This is definitely something you can put in the slow cooker in the morning and when you return at night, you’ll have a beautiful stock ready to use!
If you don’t have a slow cooker, you could try using pre-packaged vegetable or chicken stock (untested).
