Bring slowly to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 45 mins-1 hr or until the liquid reduces by two-thirds to around 1 litre. Cool for 10 mins, then strain into a jug and cool.

British Veal

British veal producers rear their calves according to strict guidelines laid down by the RSPCA & are accredited with Freedom Food Status. The calves are housed in spacious, airy barns with natural daylight, clean straw & clean water. Buying veal from UK reared dairy cattle means animals are not exported live to be reared as veal & then imported back into the UK for sale (eg, as Dutch veal). By humanely rearing them in the UK, the calves are spared excessive, stressful transport.
