7) Brown the bones for 30 minutes in a roasting pan.
8) Combine the onions, carrots and garlic and brown together for another 30 minutes, or until a rich, deep brown in color.

10) Bring slowly to a boil, then lower heat and simmer slowly for 5 minutes; remove any froth that forms on the surface.
11) Partially cover the lid leaving about 1 inch for the steam to escape, and simmer slowly for at least 5 hours.(Ten hours are even better if you will be around to turn off the heat.)
