I am giggling reading about the convenience of buying a good broth as opposed to making it! I agree, I am all for making things easy and simple!
I always have bone broth in the freezer for Bobby and the cats. I make it similar to the truthaboutpetfood directions so I thought I would share my routine if anyone is interested. I routinely look for shortcuts when cooking. I am a lazy chef, what can I say.
I remove the skin and fat before cooking. I may not get all the fat, but I try. I use a crockpot and cook on low for 24 hours; set it and forget it. When it’s done, I let it cool enough to be able to put it in an iced tea pitcher. I pour it through a colander to remove the bones then put it in the refrigerator to cool further. When it’s chilled I skim the fat off then pour it easily into containers for freezing. I normally just use ice cube trays then store it in zip lock bags, depends on how full my freezer is.
