How to make meat jelly?

1.5Kg meat, like pork head, feet
1 carrot
1 onion
salt
pepper

Clean the meat with pure water, than put into a large bowl with the vegetables, pepper. Fill the bowl with water and let it cook. Salt lightly. Cook it in a very gentle way for 3-4hours till the meat fallen of the bones. Once its ok, take out the meat/bones and let the soup cold out. Remove the fat from the top. Put the meat in a plate and pour the cold soup on top slowly and put into a cold place (not fridge, but near window, or similar). Let them work together for a day and when the soup became jelly its done! Jo etvagyat!
