As you reduce or simply simmer a stock the natural fats come out of the meat tissue/bones and accumulate on the surface. If these are not removed and you ever.. EVER, bring it back to a boil, they will re-distribute there selves back into the stock, and dirty the finished product in essense.
Ooops.. so I'm guessing that me stirring it was a Bad Idea (tm)? Something I'll need to keep in mind the next time I prepare it.
