what happened to my bone broth?

This is what I did: I roasted the chicken and then carved off the meat. I put the carcass, neck and organs in a stock pot, covered with water, added some veggies and some ac vinegar and set to boil. Once it began boiling I lowered to simmering and left it for 12+ hours. Then I strained it and just as I was putting it in the fridge I noticed that it seemed to have reduced a lot. Well, it sat in the fridge last night and this morning it is ALL gel. There is absolutely no broth. Did it simply reduce too much? Should I have been watching it simmer to add water to it every so often?

thanks!!!

Really, Pinky Tuscadero? This 'jelly' is supposed to be my delicious broth? Do i simply heat the jelly and voila! there will be broth? Because there is really no liquid, only jelly!!!

Yep! A pot full of jelly is the goal of all broth makers. You have achieved broth nirvana. Enjoy!
