Any Home Bakers Here?

I've had celery make the broth bitter, too, so I add it after the initial simmer.

Thank you for the information.

I guess I've never used enough celery to make my bone broth bitter, and I'll be sure not to use too much from now on.

Oh, and FYI: if you are using bones from a turkey that was cooked with stuffing in its cavity, rinse them off, thoroughly. Bits of stuffing ruined a whole batch of bone broth one time, made it bitter. I've had celery make the broth bitter, too, so I add it after the initial simmer.

Have you or anyone ever tried using just the celery leaves, and no stalks?

I'm not sure if that makes any difference, but an old chef I worked with decades ago swore by just using the celery leaves for the flavor, and if you want celery in the dish, simmer those separate and toss in when you pull the leaves out.

I also use solely celery leaves to simmer country-style ribs with fennel seed, a whole onion, a whole apple, a glug of ACV, black pepper, and seasoning salt.

I have used celery leaves, learned that from my mother. I think 12 hours is just too long for celery, but I might try adding them late in the cooking process.

I did some baking the last 2 days but only remembered to take photos of one batch of garlic knots.

They went well with homemade bacon potato chowder and the leftovers will go with tomorrow’s braised short ribs! Yum!

I have been sick this weekend and finally felt like eating something today.

I made a sweet potato bread yesterday with chocolate chips. It was so yummy! I just took our pumpkin bread recipe, and used the sweet potato pie mix I got at the discount store for 50 cents. The children loved it!

This is not reference to bone broth,,, I don't make it, BUT;
I use plenty of celery stalks, and leaves in my cooking of soups. Never encountered a bitter taste.
Celery soup is delicious,,,,,,, well to me and family anyways

Now that I think about celery some more... Some of the stalks taste more bitter than others.

So maybe I'll just have to taste each stalk before I add it to my broth pot.

Good morning everyone.

I have kidney beans with bacon and onions in the crockpot. It’s an old family recipe.

Anyway, other than that I’m not gonna be doing much baking this week. I have a biopsy tomorrow on my thyroid, and a follow up appointment two days after that.

The ultrasound tech explained to me the process of what they’re doing, something called a “fine needle aspiration.” Even with that explanation, I have to admit that I’m pretty nervous. Not about the biopsy, but about what the results might be.

I will let you all know how it goes once it’s over.
