Veal Stock - Day 2

Ruhlman and French Laundry stocks #1 are happily chilling in my fridge and I'm ready to start on veal stocks #2.

Here are the leftover bones and aromatics.

Add water, slowly bring to a simmer, then barely simmer for another 4 hours. This is called remouillage or remoistening. It's the second extraction of flavors from the bones.

Keep skimming.

After getting the stock up to a simmer (1 1/2 - 2 hours) and simmering for 4 hours, I strained through colanders, sieves, and cheesecloth.

Veal stocks #2 (at top) joined veal stocks #1 in the fridge waiting for the final marriage of stocks. I'll save that for Day 3.
