  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4      pounds        Beef Or Veal Bones -- Preferably Shank Or
                        Bones
   3      quarts         -- Water
   1      medium        Onion -- Coarsely Chopped
   1      medium        Bay Leaf
   2      each          Whole Cloves
   1      teaspoon      Dried Thyme -- Crushed
   6      each          Peppercorns
   8      each          Sprigs Fresh Parsley

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.  Place the bones in a roasting pan and bake
 for 25 to 30 minutes, turning the bones once.  Pour off the collected fat.  Transfer
 the bones and the remaining ingredients to a large stock pot.  Bring to a simmer
 and simmer 4 to 6 hours; do not BOIL!  Skim the fat off the top and strain through a
 fine strainer lined with cheese cloth. Refrigerate.  Fat will harden on the surface
 when chilled.  Skim the fat from the top surface.  This dish may be served as
 a light soup or used in recipes calling for beef broth.
