Bone Broth 101 - Page 15

WingsOfTheMorning · 10-08-2012, 10:36 AM

I used broth this morning to make a smoothie for DD2 and she loved it!

I blended up frozen bananas and chicken broth. This is so awesome because she can't have most substitute milks. (Did you know rice milk has sunflower seed oil?

/rant) The bone broth will be better for her anyway!

I read through this but I didn't find the answer to my question.

I just did beef bone broth but I only simmered it for 24 hours because my house STINKS and it's giving me a headache.

I used knuckle and marrow bones from grass fed cows. I added carrots, shallot and green onion along with ACV. The broth is VERY yellow. I'm guessing it's because it's grass fed but is it normal? Should it be darker?

I'm doing the bones again for a second batch and it smells much better in here. That batch I'm going to use for when I make potatoes or quinoa or stir fry.

Interesting. I wonder if the yellow is from the carrots/onions

but then you would still think it would be darker brown because of the beef.....

I would always go w/ simmering it longer and see.

lalaithnil · 10-09-2012, 05:59 PM

I'd simmer it longer too. Can you put it in the garage or porch or something? Is it in a crock pot? That way you wouldn't have to smell it. I used onions and carrots in my beef broth and it was VERRRRRY dark brown after 3 days.

2sunshines · 10-09-2012, 06:26 PM

I made my first bone broth last week (beef). Simmered for 3 days. Took about half of it out and made a beef veggie soup. SO SO SO good!

I put the other half of the broth in the fridge and am going to make round 2 tomorrow with it.

My question is this. There is obviously a layer of fat along the top. Should I remove it? I mean, I know that traditionally it's good to remove fat, but isn't animal fat good for you? So wouldn't it stand to reason that it's better to leave it in???

treehugginmama · 10-09-2012, 06:43 PM

Maybe I can put it in my craft room. Yes its in the crock pot. My crock pot has low high and warm. Is warm good enough for simmering?

My crockpot has to be on high to simmer.

I put mine on low. I think that warm would be too low... You want to keep the temperature high enough so that it doesn't start growing bacteria, right? Mine simmered on low. It's probably a crockpot to crockpot thing.

treehugginmama · 10-09-2012, 06:51 PM

It was more of a boil on low however on warm it doesn't really simmer either. Maybe that was my problem. I had it on warm a lot of the time because low seemed to high.

melliethepooh · 10-09-2012, 08:01 PM

Skimming the fat is a matter of preference. On GAPS you keep all the fat in, but for storing it the broth will keep longer without fat.

raining_kisses · 10-10-2012, 06:01 AM

I leave the fat...I don't worry about storing cause it doesn't last very long around here.

My crock pot simmers on Low.

Glitterfish · 10-10-2012, 06:41 AM

I definitely simmer on low (it is more of a low boil, but warm is not enough to simmer).

2sunshines · 10-10-2012, 06:45 AM

Well, I'm using the 2nd half of the bone broth I made for another pot of soup today. It was such a hit with the whole family (and bil) last week. And it's very satisfying to know that I made the whole thing from scratch.

treehugginmama · 10-10-2012, 06:46 AM

I think with my next batch I will use my older crock pot that just has low and high. Maybe that one will work out better. Now I'm wondering if I should throw what I made out.

NeshamaMama · 10-10-2012, 06:23 PM

I always freeze my remaining broth a day or two after it's done, but I find it annoying to have to thaw when I want to use it (or remember to put it in the fridge a day or two before, which never happens

) so how long does broth realistically last in the fridge?

I want to have easier access to it so that we drink/use it more often, but I don't want to waste any of it!
