I have just learned that back in the day before insulin shots, the doctor's cured diabetes by adding fat to the diet, and low carbs. They probably didn't call them carbs, but they eliminated sugar and refined foods, etc. Now I eat the fat too!

i agree we need the fat. I should have said I remove SOME of the fat. I save bacon grease and use just a little to fry eggs or in cooking.

“The Everlasting Meal” by Tamar Adler is really a good book. She doesn’t throw much food away.

I do too. I also save cooking water and vegetable scraps. I blenderize the scraps and make vegetable broth that way.

I am interested in this, especially since I just purchased a freezer and would have a place to put the jars.

But I have no idea how to make the broth.

Any information will be appreciated.

JanieH asked how to make broth.
I just use the liquid from a roast pork or beef. Pour it into a container or fruit jar. If I don't have enough to use with noodles, ect, I add a Bouillion Cube and a cup of water for each bouillion cube. You never taste the difference in the actual broth and that from the Boullion Cube.

It really does save money. At T.Giving, I just use the broth from the turkey for gravy and turkey and noodles. The broth is $2.00 or so, so---- free money!!

To make stock/broth:
Roast soup bone (beef) in large roasting pan in oven at 400° about 1 hour or till it smells wonderful. Then turn heat down to 225° and add water to pan to cover beef bones. Bake 2 - 3 hours or till everything falls apart. Cool slightly; remove bones with slotted spoon to large platter. Pour liquid into large clear pitcher/large dutch oven - reserving last bits of solids, whatever isn't clear. Cool stock till fat solidifies then remove fat and discard. Reheat stock if it has jelled (which is a very good thing) and pour into freezer jars, cover, date and freeze till needed. (If I've got limited freezer space, I reheat in pan and reduce to about 1/3 it's volume and freeze in smaller portions. When I use that I can add water as needed. Meanwhile, separate meat from bones and pack into freezer containers in useable portions and cover with stock. Place on lids and freeze. (OR place meat into casserole, add 3-4 tablespoons barley. Cover with stock pan remains and additional stock (to just cover). Bake at 225° about 2 hours and serve with potatoes and vegetables for supper. Very tasty.)

SuzzyQ, thank you for those directions. I can't wait to try making my own stock.

REMINDER FOR FREEZING IN JARS.
Glass jars are wonderful but don’t fill more than 75% full or it may crack your jar when in the freezer.

Regarding the rendering of the meat bones...Why in oven, can't this work in pot on stove top....

tranum - you said you simmered for two days...did you refrigerate overnite or continually keep on stove? And then you blended - including the bones?

veggie broth from scraps...does that mean the peeling/trimmings of fresh veggies..like beet tops, asparagus ends, cauliflower, cabbage leaves, etc?
