I'm guessing bone broth is very good for us?

    It's not paid for by how much you use though. It's one monthly price for our home internet service then we hook up equipment to make it wireless

    A timely topic for me: I just finished picking Henney Penney down to the bone for broth. I cook my broth overnight in my crock pot, which I put in the garage so I don't dream about chickens all night.

    Several people mentioned adding vinegar. As I understand it, apple cider vinegar helps to extract the maximum mineral goodness from the bones; it's not for taste or texture. Here's my formula: chicken carcass (haven't tried beef bones yet), two onions, some celery stalks, four carrots, two small sweet potatoes, 3 unpeeled garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, whatever aromatics take my fancy at the time, just enough filtered water to cover the veggies. If you don't have all that on hand, I'm thinking onions and carrots would be the minimum for a full, rounded flavor. You can sub lemon juice for the apple cider vinegar but use one or the other.

    It may sound like a lot of trouble (certainly more than popping open a can of Swanson's Chicken Broth) but when you see the result you'll understand why it's worth it. Right now my own digestive system is in a parlous state and I'm kicking myself for not having broth already made and ready to work its magic.

    I was never very good at those combination/permutation problems in statistics class but I'm pretty sure there are NOT 200 ways to do this. If you want some other ideas, however, do a search on Pinterest for "bone broth."

    The collagen helps to prevent and repair wrinkles, and I'm sure it has other health benefits as well, so I want to get into this.

    I bought oxtail for the first time today. It's simmering in the crock pot, along with a big pile of marrow bones. Smells delish.

    Hey Dan! Have you done marrow broth before? How is oxtail different? My butcher convinced me to buy (steeply discounted!) oxtail today, so I'm simmering my first batch. I can hardly wait til tomorrow to eat it. :smiley:

    How many oxtails did you use? Those things are tiny.

    It was just under 2lb - I got some big meaty ones and some of the itty bitties. Then 2lb of marrow bones.

    I would think oxtails might be cheap, but they are decidedly not where I can get them..... $9 a pound and almost no meat.

    $8 here :/ I only bought them because my butcher cut me a deal and gave them to me for $2.99 a pound, since she was out of soup bones.

    Bones, water, simmer, drink. How do you write that 200 different ways? LOL

    Broth making is an art. Japanese ramen for example is judged not on the noodle but on the broth and there are many regional varieties. The shop with the best broth form lines for miles.

    Ah yes, gazing at the pork with eyes of love! A young Ken Watanabe in Tanpopo:

    Another tip I do when making broth - I put the bones on a sheet pan and roast them at a high temp (about 375-400) for half an hour to 45 minutes. That roasting kind of carmelizes things and gives an extra layer of flavour to broth. Then I load up the stock pot and let it simmer for 4 or 5 hours. I throw in onion & garlic & bay leaf, peppercorns, carrots & celery if I have it on hand.

    I've only done it with turkey bones though. I've not attempted a beef broth before. I currently have fifteen 2 1/2-3 cup baggies of broth in the freezer for making soups.
