Butternut Squash and Apple Curry/Beef Bone Broth

Thanks for coming to the Southern Pines Farmers Market on Saturday. What a beautiful day we had! Here are the two recipes that I served. My Butternut Squash-Apple Curry was made with a hotter curry (Madras Curry), but you can turn down the heat by using a sweet or regular curry powder. Puree leftovers with homemade broth (chicken, beef or vegetable) and turn the stew into a wonderful soup!

Ingredients
  1. 6-7 pounds beef bones from grass-fed cows, including some meaty bones
  2. 2 onions, quartered
  3. 2 leeks including green tops
  4. 6 carrots cut into large chunks
  5. 6 celery stalks, cut in large chunks
  6. 2 bay leaves
  7. Handful of parsley stems and/or thyme leaves (fresh)
  8. 1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  9. 1/4 cup vinegar (not malt vinegar) or fresh lemon juice
  10. Cold, purified water (at least 4 quarts)
  11. Sea salt to taste (after cooking)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the bones on a roasting pan and roast for 1 hour. Add the vegetables to the roasting pan with the bones. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 30 minutes.
  2. Place the roasting pan on the stove top over low heat and deglaze with one or two cups of cold water, scraping the bottom of the pan for browned particles. Put this mixture into a large stockpot. Add the peppercorns, vinegar and herbs. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. As the stock cooks, skim any impurities that rise to the surface.
  3. Cook for at least 5-6 hours (longer the better, - can cook overnight in a slow cooker on the low setting). Remove from the heat; remove and discard all the bones and vegetables. Strain the liquid and skim off excess fat. If not using the stock immediately, place the pot in a sink full of ice water and stir to cool. When cool, cover and refrigerate or freeze in portion-sized containers or ice cube trays. Refrigerating hot stock will cause it to become cloudy.
