Homemade Shelf Stable Bone Broth

[@liannebiggar1557]

You should do a side by side taste comparison of fresh broth next to canned broth next to freeze dried reconstituted broth - kinda like you did with the eggs! Would love to know if they all taste the same.

[@Kagnasty17]

I would be curious to see this too.

[@lh7501]

[@rachelmccarty7040]

She did do the taste test with the eggs and her hubby said the scrambled eggs were great and wouldn’t have known they came from freeze dried ones.

[@lpschick7237]

Becky…I feel like you are an old soul. How you view things & how you are homesteading is a thing of the past for someone as young as yourself. The fact your parents only did gardening on a small level just goes to show this is something near j dear to your heart. Of course now you have the perfect space to have an amazing garden. Now that your Dad is retired I can tell your parents enjoy coming over & helping you. Gives them a chance to “garden” without having to deal with it on a FT scale. Your parents are just awesome. Actually your entire family is. After all life would be boring without family. I think they enjoy coming & helping you as well. Plus you pay it forward in canned & fresh goodies. ♥️. Keep it up kiddo. You will only continue to learn what works best & become an expert.

Girl! You are dedicated! Maybe a worthy future home upgrade will be an outdoor kitchen where you can store your freezdryer, dehydrator, do you canning, etc and have big drains in the floor for easy cleaning and just in case more pear juice is dropped on the floor 🤣😉.

[@carolynmills513]

Back in the day they utilized a lot of out door kitchens to keep the main house cooler and reduce fires. I watch a couple in AK that are off grid and they do a lot of their pressure canning outside on their grill. They recently did Moose bone broth. Fun to watch.

[@eileenbrooks-laitinen9778]

My parents had a "summer kitchen" for exactly such activities.

[@nancysala7769]

I would not put a freeze dryer outdoors. You would not be able to use it in the summer, because of the temperature.

[@lordylou1]

I'm excited for you. I don't have a freeze dried - nor am I likely to get one because of space constraints, I'd love to though - but I reduce my broth to a jelly and freeze it in ice cube trays. Works well and I know it's nothing more than bones, water and vegetables.

[@cattycee2001]

That's a great idea! I'm going to give this s try. Thanks!

[@marthadueck6461]

Would you have directions on how to make bone broth to jelly.

[@gillycarpenter9280]

Hi Martha. Yes it's very simple. I make the stock as usual (bones, vegetables, herbs, water and sometimes wine if I'm feeling fancy, simmered on the top of the cooker or in a slow cooker). Then strain the liquid - I line a strainer with clean muslin to make sure I catch everything - into a saucepan and reduce by half over a high heat. When it's cool, fill ice cube trays and freeze.

The freeze dryed broth can be without salt which completely beats the bullion cubes for those of us on Dr. required salt free diets. Thank you for this!

[@dianaanderson6448]

Everyone should be creating food security in their homes. Prices continue to rise and shortages are happening whether you see it in your stores or not. Don't hoard everything at once but pick up a few extra shelf stable items and preserve what you can. Labor Day weekend wiped stores around me clean. I've never seen a Holiday empty stores before. It took them over a week to restock all the shelves. That should tell you something.

[@111sconeful]

One of the grocery chains in my area have changed the shelves to a shallower depth to make it look like the shelves are full. Isles are wider now which is nice, but the deception is giving people false hope.

[@lh7501]

You need to see UK supermarkets before a holiday or if the sun comes out and everyone rushes to have a bbq lol

[@Romans828girl]

I just got home from Aldi and there were half a dozen things on my list that I normally get there that they did not have. There was still plenty of food, but the empty spaces here and there were concerning.

[@AcreHomestead]

What? So cool!!

[@Warrior-In-the-Garden]

@@AcreHomestead And you are so right when you say they both have different cooking applications. Its so nice to just put a spoonful into dishes to add richness. Also nice to have for quick single portions of bone broth.

[@firequeen2194]

Did you use the fruit trays on the dehydrator? I’m getting ready to order those! I would love to know your process for dehydration! 😍

[@Warrior-In-the-Garden]

@@firequeen2194 1st my broth is concentrated. 4 bird broth in a pint jar. Then I reduced it way down to syrup consistency. Then used fruit leather trays. It took 30 hours. because I didnt thin it out enough on the sheet. And parchment paper or silmats would make it easier. But it got snappy and I ground it up in my coffee grinder.

[@quilterjanet]

Hey sweetie... couple of things. You absolutely have to defrost the fder every time. Every. Single. Time. You can have the machine do that (which is what I do) or I've heard about people who put a fan on it and pull out the ice once it's partially melted. I just do other things, packaging up the food asap, washing trays, prepping food, etc. Also another thing, I learned from others that a frozen turkey can be cooked in a pressure cooker for 2 hours. Yup... I tried it and it's amazing. I put the turkey (I've done 16# turkeys) in there, an onion, 2 celery stalks, 2 carrots, pepper corns & bay leaves, fill up to the fill line and put it on the stove. Mind you this is my pressure canner that I stack pints 2 high in. Once it's rocking, I set the timer for 2 hours. I let it cool, put the turkey on a cookie sheet to cool faster, bottle up the turkey with broth that I just made. Take the bones, put them in my instantpot filled (to the fill line) with the same seasonings I did with the turkey, and do a 1 1/2 hr cycle and then I have even more broth and I can that up too. I hope this helps.

[@kristydechant7120]

Hi Carole, Harvest Right says to defrost after every batch. If you do not this causes the freeze dryer to work harder and not as efficiently. This can be done by the built in heater the freeze dryer has or you can leave the door and the valve open and let it defrost naturally. Depending on where you're at and your climate which you would prefer. As for maintenance you need to filter and or change the oil. If something does break they have a really awesome customer service system that will either tell you if you need to bring out to repairman or how to fix it yourself.
