Did not bake cookies the other day, the relative that was supposed to send me the recipe failed to do so. . Hope it comes soon. I did pressure can 7 quarts of bone broth from two tough old roosters and also made their meat, chopped fine and mixed with a little coconut oil (for her flaky skin) into 70 small meat balls, now frozen, to add to my dog's breakfast. Made a glorious mess in my kitchen, lol, and had juuuust enough energy to clean it.

Not baking today but Beef Barley soup is on the menu for dinner (after I make it).

Sounds so good.

How do you make it?

How do you make bone broth?

I'm getting ready to put six chickens down and would love to make some broth.

Clean the jar?? Never have done that myself.

When it looks cruddy, I clean the jar so that a visitor to the house does not throw it out as being "rotten" LOL!

Short version: First you roast em, with veggies (onions, carrots, celery). Then you boil and simmer them, with the roasted veggies, slow, preferably overnight. Let cool and strain, remove fat. Basically that's it!

Beef and lamb bones need to be roasted. Chicken bones do fine without roasting.

It takes several hours in the pressure cooker. When ready, the bones are mushy!

Oh, when you put in pot to boil, include goodies from bottom of roasting pan. Put bird(s) in boiling pot with enough water to cover, add seasonings if desired but not salt, cover, bring to boil, reduce heat and let simmer till bones come off the meat. You will salt it when you use it in a recipe.

Well, I got to reading about sourdough, both regular and GF, and never made the plain ol' GF bread. But I do have a sourdough question....

What do you all do with the starter that you discard? Throw it in the compost? Make something with it? Feed it to the chickens? Can you save it up and make crackers or cookies or waffles or pancakes?

If you have septic tank it feeds that super well
