Remember when soup bones were available at the butcher?  I guess we all used to make bone broth by default.

The differences between stock and bone broth.

Make you own and you can control what's in it and what isn't in it.

They still are available.  The price is much higher than my mother remembers.  I buy grass fed organic beef bones from a local butcher.  My mother was shocked when she heard the price. LOL

By the gel that forms when it is cool.

Sodium naturally occurs in most foods, so check a nutrition chart for the amount from each of the ingredients you add.  I make stock for soup and I never add any salt.  My DH is a heart patient and I find the salty taste is adequate if I use the drums and thighs from the chicken and the broth is richer.  Don't forget to cook twice as there is more marrow from the second cooking than the first.  Marrow is what is good for you if you low in blood, iron or vitamins.

Costco sells Golden Ladle Chicken Bone Broth that is a real bone broth, as opposed to the Pacific brand.  The price is pretty good, too - 6 cartons for around $15.  The Kettle & Fire brand gets a lot of positive reviews but it's pretty expensive, from what I hear.  I can't find it in my region.

Ah, I don't think I've let it sit to cool.  I've only used it for soup and there haven't been leftovers.

Anyhoo, I do like my local food co-op's bone broth, it's made at a local farm that I am familiar with.  Great product but quite pricey.  I don't mind, I'd rather buy quality and I like to support local farms that I actually am familiar with.
