Broth Baby!!

Fall has come and gone, but I find that winter is the best time to make broth. As the snows pile high and the outside events are limited to feeding and milking the kid critters….heating the house with the wondrous smells of broth just seems right. Like everyone else, I followed the broth recipes that most do, leeks, onions, carrots, so many vegetables added to our butcher bones. Until……..

You knew there would be a but, or until, if you read any of our blogs before. ~grin~

Years ago while shopping for the normal broth, you got to have these vegetables, I had a chat with a sweet older lady.  She grinned and asked me why I would waste a good carrot on broth!!  Really, she did…so my response was because the recipe I use said too…..such an adorable giggle she gave me. Then she proceeded to rest her arm lovingly on my shoulder and told me I was wasting my time, that a good broth didn’t need it. Then she told me her secret to a good bone broth….of course I listened, smiling politely, thanked her for her recipe. I then took my shopping home and chopped, diced, and followed my recipe.

It was years later that I finally followed her advice, and I have to admit, it wasn’t because I wanted to. Money was tight that year….try finding vegetables in winter in Montana, that didn’t cost an arm and a leg - let alone finding ‘fresh’ vegetables! Well, you can see where I’m going with this. A good broth indeed doesn’t need all those veggies, unless you’re making vegetable broth of course!

The first time I did it her way; I was shocked, pleased, and forever changed in how I make broth. I don’t regret making it this way; I just regret not trying it earlier. Not only do I save money, all those beautiful veggies can be used as food us, not scraps that go to the chickens.

So how do I make a good broth? Let’s talk…..
