How to prepare

For each carcass (we halve them before packing, so each will be in two pieces), add 1 chopped onion, 1 chopped leek, 1 chopped carrot, 2 chopped sticks of celery, peppercorns, and a bouquet garni. Cover with cold water and bring to a bare simmer. Cook, very gently, for about 2 hours (or 30 mins if using a pressure cooker), topping up with cold water if needed. Skim off any fat, strain and leave to cool. For a deep golden stock, roast the carcass and veg until nicely browned before you start.

Storage

Keep refrigerated below 5°C. Pre-frozen, do not refreeze. Once opened, use immediately for best quality.

Reared by Ross Gardner, Blackdown Hills, Devon

Ross Gardner knows a thing or two about how to keep a bird happy. For almost 50 years, his family has reared and produced poultry on the banks of the River Otter in the Blackdown Hills, East Devon – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We enjoy Ross’s plump organic ducks throughout the year, and look forward to his traditional turkeys and geese every Christmas.
