Beef broth from a can or package smells the same way to me. I decided to leave my broth on for one more day. It smells a lot better and has a nice dark color now.

Mine never got soft, even after 3 days.

Good to hear it's not just me that doesn't really like the smell/taste of beef broth. Charla, it's FABULOUS to use in soups etc, but it just doesn't have a nice drinkable taste like chicken broth does. I don't really know what it is. Maybe you're right that it has a stronger flavour, but I'm not quite sure how to describe it,

Now I'm totally craving chicken soup.

Norma -

good suggestion but no, I couldn't buy a chicken from a Hutterite either. They're still factory farmed, even though it's not necessarily mainstream.

I gotta have pastured poultry!!

French onion soup is about as close as I can get to eating straight beef broth.

Oh man, I love beef broth. I season it a bit with parsley, rosemary, pepper, and oregano, and add salt. Is that why?

Oh my stars, that sounds divine.

So my beef broth simmered in the crock pot from Wednesday night until Saturday morning, and the bones were JUST starting to get soft. The broth was really concentrated too, which was nice because I ended up w/ enough to make a HUGE pot of beef veggie rice soup and about 3 ice cube trays full too

I put some of the bones in the blender w/ a bit of broth and blended them smooth so I can add it to frozen popsicles (once I actually get a popsicle maker

any recommendations of good BPA free ones?) and I gave the harder bones to the dog.

DH's grandfather is butchering his 2 beef cows in October, and we're getting 1/4 of one! It's not cheap or easy to find pastured beef around here, so I can't wait... I'm hoping maybe the butcher can throw in some extra bones if everyone else doesn't want them!

My DH "discovered" why I do broth. He keeps drinking it. LOL.

Stiina · 09-17-2012, 12:43 PM

Those spices sound great, Shekinah - i've just been putting onion and garlic and bay leaf.

oooh shaslove I'm impressed that you remembered to remove your siggy. I almost typed your name but realized you probably wouldn't want me to.

I never remember to remove mine on a public forum.

anyhoooooo.....that's funny about your husband. tell him his guts are happy, too.

raining_kisses · 09-17-2012, 12:47 PM

Look at me go incognito

So I ruined a batch of bone broth last week by putting in carrot greens. I thought I read some where that others did it....but it just made the darkest green, bitter, greasy mess. I was just starting to get sick and I can still close my eyes and still smell the smell when I took the lid off.

I am sort of afraid to put anything else in now. I've only ever done apple cider vineger and water. I season after wards when I make my soup, and leave my ice cub tray broth unseasoned and just cook with it.

3boysforme · 09-17-2012, 12:53 PM

Why is everyone removing their siggy's?

Um, yea I think carrot greens would not be very good. Maybe added after like right before you are going to eat it? We do that with napa cabbage in chicken broth but if you let it sit too long it turns the broth green.

I just removed it to be silly.

lalaithnil · 09-17-2012, 03:29 PM

I made chicken bone broth this past week, simmered in the crock pot for 3 days - chicken bones and skin, carrots, onion, garlic, salt, ACV. I added water each day, about a cup, to make up for what had steamed out. Sunday I strained it and used half broth, half water to make a stew of chicken, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, and spices like red pepper and black pepper, and some salt.
OMW I could not believe the difference the bone broth made. Everything else I used for the stew I've cooked many times before, but just used canned broth or water, and we've always enjoyed it. This time, DH and DD can't stop raving about it.

B drank the broth in her bowl with a straw and picked out the other foods with her hands. She even ate the potatoes (said she liked the "black part of the tomatoes", meaning the potato skins

), and she doesn't typically like potatoes. I'm thrilled and can't wait to find a source for beef bones! Local supermarket was no help.

We are a beef eating family - Bella says her fave foods are broccoli and steak

- so I know we'll get good use from the beef broth. And I have 3 gallon bags of broth cubes in the freezer from the chicken.

I put roasted chicken on our menu this week so I can make broth later this week.
