and deglaze the pan, scraping up any bits that may have stuck to the bottom of the pot.

and discard any impurities that may rise to the surface. Turn the heat to low and add the
cooked vegetable mixture to the pot. Continue to simmer, skimming occasionally, for 8
hours. Strain the jus through a chinois and transfer to a clean large saucepan. Bring to a
