Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the turmeric and saute for a few minutes. At this point, you can add the vegetable scraps and saute until browned for a deeper layer of flavor, but it's not necessary. Add the remaining ingredients, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Pour through a fine mesh strainer and transfer to multiple smaller containers (I use quart sized canning jars). Allow to cool to room temperature and transfer to the refrigerator for a few days or to the freezer for up to 6 months.
Recipe Notes
1) I didn't find the flavor from this amount of turmeric overpowering so you could try adding more if you like; 2) any of the herbs and spices are optional - just use what you have on hand and like; 3) this recipe makes about 8 cups.
