"A great stock that can be used for many recipes, soups, stews, pasta or casseroles. I found the basis of this recipe from a cookbook by Colin Fassnidge. I will also post a recipe of his "Ham Hock Parsnips" from the same book, which uses this stock. There will be leftover meat from the hocks which can be used in other recipes. This recipe makes approx; 4 Litres stock."
