Cook
We made our trip to the butcher today, and I bought some knuckle bones, thinking maybe I could make some home made stock. I have made chicken and turkey stock a lot, and we love it, but this is my first attempt at beef. The knuckles are about 1-1/2 pounds each with a good amount of fat and some meat on them. I had the option to buy marrow bones, but at $5 a pound, I opted for the much cheaper knuckles. Would it take both of these knuckles to make a nice batch of stock for soup? If I had to guess I usually add 8 cups of water for a batch. I see some recipes out there that say I need 5 pounds for just 32 oz of soup. Others say 4-5 pounds for 4 quarts of soup.
Also, any tips and tricks for something to add to it? I usually use a variety of spices and herbs, and carrots and onions and celery. One of the things I love about cooking is experimenting and adding a little of this and a little of that. ( you can't do that in baking, so that is why I DON'T bake )
I would love to hear what you put in yours!!
