2 quarts water |
1 medium onion, quartered |
1 stalk celery |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |

Reduce heat; cover and simmer 2 hours, turning hen once after 1 hour. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool. 2. Strain stock into a bowl; discard neck and giblets. Cover and refrigerate stock. Reserve hen and vegetables for other uses. Carefully lift off and discard solidified fat from top of stock. For a clearer stock, see procedure for clarifying.
