Which reminds me, does anyone else put onion skins in their homemade chicken broth?
Just a few skins turns it a nice warm shade of brown. Nothing for the taste, but somehow giving it a little color seems appealing - you strain it all out of the broth before you use it anyway.
I used to lightly crumple the skins onto one of the mesh onion bags, put a couple eggs in, wrap it all up and gently boil. The eggs come out a beautiful marbled pattern - fun for Easter.
