I'll definitely try the vinegar out next time then!

I put between a glug and a sploosh in

Such a scientific process!!!

OT: DH and I used to have a joke going regarding these sorts of measurements. "A wee bit of a smidge" was a common descriptor, and we'd argue whether a smidgen was bigger than a pinch and what exactly a "sprinkle" was.

I've been super sick with hand foot and mouth and have had no appetite. I feel a little better and am hungry aain. My first real meal will be bone broth chciken and wild rice soup with organic carrots and celery. And it just started pouring here so soup sounds even better.

I hope you feel better. That is crazy that you got HFM as an adult!

I am not well today either. I have a horrible cough, that my boss gave me. I took the day off and went to the store and got some beef soup bones! I have my first ever beef broth on the stove right now. I hope it comes out good. I am hoping to make some veggie soup with it tonight.

I have a crock pot full of beef bone randomness bubbling away right now... I started it 2 nights ago and I'm still waiting for the bones to get soft. Do beef bones get soft, so you can mash them w/ a spoon? When I've done chicken the bones get soft after only about 12 hours, but I figured beef would take longer since they're thicker bones.

I'm so excited for my first batch of grass fed beef bone broth (whew, say that 10 times fast!!)! I kept all the bones from steaks, etc until I had a gallon ziploc full in the freezer, and then I had a smallish "soup bone" (it was labeled as such, but it was mostly meat

), so I threw it all in w/ some water, a few bay leaves, a "glug"

of ACV, some peppercorns, some celery leaves, a carrot and an onion. It smells awesome! Except for DH had me put it out in the mudroom to cook last night so he didn't smell it all night

3boysforme · 09-14-2012, 10:20 AM

My soup bones were small too. I got some rib bones to add more bone to it. I'm going to take some broth out for my soup tonight and see how long it takes for the bones to get soft.

Just realized I forgot the bay leaf.

Ok. I just tasted some broth. How much salt should I put in it? Cause it's kinda meh tasting, of course I have only had it on for a couple hours.

Stiina · 09-14-2012, 02:18 PM

I think it just depends. One time my bones were soft after 12 hours but my last batch was going continuously for 5 days and at the end I could still only scrape a little bit out of the inside with a spoon. I got like 1/4tsp of crushed bone goodness and gave up. I put it in a bowl with 4 bananas and a bunch of broth and buttermilk and made DS some popsicles. He loves thenm.

marigold · 09-15-2012, 02:55 PM

ooh, I hadn't heard about the vinegar drawing out the minerals before, I am definitely trying that next time.
As far as the fat goes I believe that it is good because it helps your body transport and use the minerals, at least if I understand correctly, I could be wrong.

I got 4 lbs of femur, knuckles and neck bones (with meat) from the butcher for $9.

1 gallon of spring water. Added 3 carrots, 1 parsnip, 2 onions, bay, acv, salt and pepper and some parsley.

9 hours later the broth is thin and still flavorless

I know I forgot to roast the bones. But I really WANTED to like this.

Any fixes?

raining_kisses · 09-15-2012, 04:15 PM

Let it keep going, 9 hours isn't very long in bone broth time.

....says the lady whose first batch of beef broth is going as we speak.

What do I know?

Crock pot or stove? How hot do you have it? You want it to be simmering . . .
And yes, 9 hours isn't that long, especially if you don't have it quite hot enough.
