Don't taste this recipe and fret over the salt. It's VERY salty, but it's a concentrate. A tablespoon full goes into a litre of liquid, i.e soup, of which you have a cup at a time. It's lower in salt per serve than an egg! If you lower the salt amount you will have to freeze the stock, but with the correct salt, it won't freeze at all but can keep in the fridge. The great thing about this recipe is that it is very flexible. You can use whatever you have in the fridge. I know a few people who pop all their vegetable scraps into the freezer to keep particularly for making this stock concentrate.
