| I make beef stock, taking it down to a Demi Glace , twice a year. Here is what I do.You can stop after making the stock or go further and make the Brown Sauce and Demi. I often only do stock. Demi Glace and Brown Sauce made from stock For Stock 5 Or 6 Pounds Of Beef Bones, Veal Bones ,Maybe More For Brown Sauce 3 carrots chopped For Demi Glace For the Beef Broth For the Brown Sauce ( Sauce Espagnole) Saute mirepoix ( chopped onons, carots and celery) in butter until the surface. Strain it through a fine strainer, and press the mirepoix Note re liquid amounts. Use 2/3 of stock for Brown Sauce and reserve 1/3 for the Demi. For the Demi use equal amounts of brown sauce and stock. |

| Thank you both so much. Grainlady, that is a marvelous article which I have printed out, not only for use in cooking, but because of the reference to arthritis. My granddaughter suffers from the joint pain of fibromyalgia and might also benefit. |

| I use it for the same reason - arthritis. It works wonders! I also have a crazy modified diet though. I do the same one as Grainlady. I also make a great quinoa beef soup with it too. 6 cups stock (sometimes added water depending on how concentrated it is) 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa, 1 celery stick, 2 carrot sticks, 1/2 chopped onion, boil all these until quinoa is done, fry up some stewing beef, chop into mini pieces, chop up some kale, add to soup and serve. I don't really cook the kale but it softens up instantly. I wouldn't skimp on the simmering process when making the stock either. |

| About that soup recipe - I would only add 1/3 cup quinoa and only 1 carrot. |
