C obs of corn that have all their kernels cut off are vegetable bones, don't you think? So why not make stock from them just like you would from animal bones? Savoury. Freezes well if you leave a half-inch headspace. 8 cobs 2 onions, halved 2 carrots, scrubbed but not peeled 2 stalks celery, trimmed 1 head garlic, bottom trimmed to expose cloves 4 bay leaves 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns 1/2 tablespoon thyme 6 quarts water Boil everything, uncovered, for 1 hour. Strain. ♥ Becki
