Guest guest Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi Tina, Using bones from cooked meat is a great way to make stock/broth. Certainly from chicken anyway, and I don't see why it wouldn't work well for beef/lamb/pork bones too (perhaps there is less marrow to leach in to the stock as a result of the baking first, but there will definitely still be some. Also there will still be plenty of gelatine and minerals which will help healing). Here in the UK I've been following Delia 's and Oliver's (I think you call him the Naked Chef in the US!) recipes for chicken/turkey stock for years, and when I was a child my grandmother and mother used to make it all the time since stock cubes were non-existent then! (To this day my mother still uses it as the basis of all her home-made soups.) Here's a link to Oliver's recipe: http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/meat/easy_chicken_stock Also, I'm wondering why the stock/broth needs to be cooked for so long? I've only ever cooked mine for 2 to 4 hours, and then reduced it down to a concentrate if I want to by fast boiling it for a while at the end. Where does the 36 to 48 hours come from? Is it GAPS? Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I've never tried to make bone broth, but my dh and I were also vegetarians since we were teens and our kids had never tasted meat/chicken/fish until we started scd. It's been a process, I'll tell you that! Good luck getting used to it. We've def. had our moments.....Like when we had 12 people to dinner right after dd had started on the diet, and I made a turkey breast or something and put it on the table and realized I had no idea how to cut it, and nothing remotely resembling a meat slicer knife As I say to dh (who has still not gotten the hang of eating meat), better we eat meat and have a healthy child than the reverse. In the grand scheme of things, I'm okay with it. Good luck, Ellen 10 y/o dd scd since 5/06 for Crohn's and doing great down to 12.5 mg/Imuran/day!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Marilyn, How many of the tiny 1 " bones do you use and how much water? The meat man told me there are about 20 in a bag of about 2 to 3 pounds. Would I use the whole bag to about 3 quarts water (my big pot)?

Hmm, I use around 5-6 pounds in my 6 quart pot, so yes, probably. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
