By Kate

Ingredients

• ✓ black peppercorn
• water
• kosher salt
• garlic
• clove
• bay leaf
• coriander seed
• dill weed
• kirby cucumber

Instructions

1. 1 Combine water, salt, and garlic in a large saucepan. Add cloves, bay leaves, coriander seeds, and peppercorns. Stir until salt is dissolved. Heat over low heat for just a few minutes to bring water to room temperature. The water should not be warm.
2. 2 Select a jar or crock large enough to hold the cucumbers, spices, and some brine. Place some dill flowers over the bottom and top with a few cucumbers. Alternate layers of dill and cucumbers, ending with a layer of dill. Pour pickling brine into the crock. Gently tap or shake the crock to eliminate any air bubbles. Place a small ramekin on the pickles to weigh them down and ensure they stay below the surface of the brining liquid. Top with more brine and cover the crock. Reserve any extra brine to use during the fermentation process.
3. 3 Place the crock where it can ferment at a temperature between 65 and 75 degrees F (18 to 24 degrees C). Let pickles ferment for a week, checking every day to ensure they remain submerged; add more brine if necessary. Small bubbles may appear; this is a normal product of the fermentation process.
4. 4 After about eight days, you can skim off the foam. Test a pickle for flavor and crunch. You can continue fermenting them for a couple more days or, if you like them at this point, transfer pickles to a large jar. Fill the jar with the brine from the fermentation process. Cover and store finished pickles in the refrigerator.

Instructions

1. 1 Slice breast meat off chickens by cutting along either side of each breastbone, across the ribcage, and down to the wing joints. Cut off meat and save for another meal, reserving skin for chicken tea.
2. 2 Transfer whole chickens and skin from breasts into 1 extra large or 2 standard (5 1/2- to 6-quart) pots. Divide carrots, celery, and onions between the pots, followed by garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Fill each pot to the top with cold water.
3. 3 Place the pots over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, watching carefully. Immediately reduce heat to low. Skim off any foam from the tops with a spoon. Adjust heat to maintain a very gentle simmer where only small bubbles poke up through the surface. Continue to simmer for 8 to 12 hours.
4. 4 Use a slotted spoon to transfer the solids into a strainer set over a large bowl; discard chunks and pour strained broth back into a pot. Combine all the liquid into one pot. Strain broth again through a fine-mesh strainer into whichever pot was emptied.
5. 5 Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, skimming fat from the top; boil until reduced by half. Turn off heat and season with salt, tasting and adjusting as needed.
6. 6 Strain broth through a cheesecloth or nut milk bag into a container. Serve steaming hot in a pot as you would tea, or let cool and refrigerate until ready to serve.
