Bone Broths

[Guest guest]

Bee,

I am grateful for the introduction of fermented foods an broths to

my kitchen. Now I always have sauerkraught and kim chi going. I

intend to start having broths also always on hand. It is so wonderful

to have available something that is so nutritious and easy. I have

really enjoyed just sipping broth from a cup.

As I prepare for work I put a cup of broth in my pan to heat it up

throw in a handfull of broccoli and/or cauliflower a pat of butter an

voila I have a delightful soup that I put in a mason jar and take to

work. Because I am a bus driver and don't get breaks it is important I

have something easy to consume at a 5 minute transfer point. (other

drivers just stop for fast food and eat as they go.) I am immediately

satisfied. I think it is the best food ever.

I did a search on the internet for broths and one recipe said

refridgerated broth could be refreshed by boiling 10 minutes every

three days. Their suggestion indicated broth could be kept for long

periods of time this way. Another site indicated that in some

cultures the soup pot is kept perpetual. I am presuming that they

keep the pot simmering all the time and just keep adding scraps and

bones.

I have a crock pot so it is easy for me to keep it going day and

night.

I saw on one of your eariler posts you have broths going alot. I

was wondering how you maintain your broth.

How long do you think it would be safe unrefridgerated and not on

the stove.

==>I agree with you, but I'd also add that Bee's Raw Egg Drink is up

there with the broths. lol1

==>Pat, I do not believe in the " germ theory of disease " but for

people who are concerned I'd say that 2 hours out of the fridge is

okay (that is when it is not kept simmering). I keep mine simmering

all day on the weekends and re-simmer every night until it's gone.

I keep adding more water to it, to a point, because eventually all

of the goodies are used up.
