It's easy to set & forget in the crock pot, so very little work. Bone broth is awesome because you can eat it alone or use it to flavor rice, vegetable dishes or as a soup/stew base. I'll post that recipe soon.Īlso, a few days a month I make a bone broth which is rich in gelatin. They were so good and even the kids loved them. I also made homemade marshmallows a few times.

Then I add 1 packet sugar free Jello style dessert mix. measuring spoon, a silver dinner spoon) I added 1 1/2 - 2 cups boiling water and stirred gently till absorbed.
