Directions
Cut carrots into 3-inch lengths. Cut onion into eights. Roast carrots, onion and game bones on baking sheet at 400 degrees, shaking pan every few minutes, until bones are brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer carrots, onion and bones to large pot. Pour 1 cup water onto baking sheet and scrape with spatula to release caramelized cooking particles. Add to pot with bones and vegetables. Tie thyme, parsley and celery stalk together and add to pot with peppercorns and juniper berries. Cover with 5 quarts cold water and bring almost to boil over high heat. Just before stock boils, reduce heat and simmer 4 hours. Set aside to cool. Strain stock and discard solids.
Store cooled stock covered in refrigerator up to 5 days or put in plastic freezer containers and freeze up to 3 months. Yields 4 quarts.
