Homemade Crab Stock


Ingredients:
mutual coldness water
shells from ii dozen steamed bluish crabs*
3 carrots, cutting up
2 onions, quartered
1 ear of corn, quartered
1 bunch celery
1 head garlic
1/4 loving cup dark peppercorns

Directions:
Place the crab shells and the vegetables inwards a large (8-10 quart) stock pot. Add H2O until the pot is nearly filled.

After nigh four hours (longer if yous used to a greater extent than H2O in addition to a bigger pot), in addition to the liquid has reduced, strain into a large bowl. If yous desire it super clear strain through a paper towel or cheese cloth lined colander. Cool at nowadays past times placing the bowl inwards an H2O ice filled sink. Refrigerate overnight, in addition to then skim off any scum that rose to the surface. Package inwards air tight containers in addition to refrigerate it upwardly to 12 days,  freezer bags to freeze upwardly to 1 yr or pressure level can.



*I picked/ate the crabs 1 24-hour interval in addition to and then refrigerated the shells overnight inwards gallon bags. I besides threw inwards whatever legs/claws that did non become eaten. They, of course, were pretty good coated inwards Old Bay.




My thoughts:
Normally when having a crab feast (see how to steam bluish crabs hither in addition to how to selection them, here) yous describe of piece of employment the picnic tabular array alongside paper in addition to only toss the whole lot out but for this, I saved the shells overnight inwards a few ziplock bags in addition to made this rich stock the side past times side day. I don't intend it is that mutual to brand stock out of former crab shells but crabs are tasty in addition to expensive in addition to it seems a waste matter non to. This stock volition endure groovy inwards crab soup or inwards whatever seafood recipe that calls for stock or broth. I besides intend it would endure wonderful used instead of H2O to brand rice.
