Best Bones for Making Beef Bone Broth

Hi Sweet Friends, Today I'm going over all they types of various bones I have used over the years to make beef bone broth. And I also share the ones that are my favorites as well as those that are the most affordable...but still make a wonderfully gelatinous broth! Love, Mary

I wish I could have Mary move in with me for a whole week of cooking so that I could learn as much as possible. Does any one else wish this?

I remember a time when many of those bones were placed in bags and available for FREE from the grocery's butcher dept. They were considered unwanted waste but were available to poor people (like my family) to make soup with. They usually had three or four large bones in each bag. Then when they became popular for pet owners, they started charging 25 cents per bag of bones with a limit of three bags per person. And now those same bones are being sold for almost $1.00 per pound, and more! Crazy times, but you can't say that the grocers don't recognize and take full advantage of a trend when they see it

NEVER ... in my WHOLE LIFE... has ANYone EVER gotten me EXCITED about BONES!!! :-D LOL!!! AND, , , NEVER ... in my WHOLE LIFE... have I EVER heard anyone explain things in such detail as YOU. I just can't get enough of your channel! I learn new things EVERY DAY!!! I still have alot of catching up to do. Not doing well in the grief department. Please keep me in your prayers. Hugs, love & prayers <3 <3 <3

Thanks. Videos like this need a list in the description. marrow bone shanks, ossso bucco ^ short ribs (too expensive for broth) ^ ox tail ^ neck bone ^ knuckle bone, hip bone patella bone, femur ^ = brown in oven first some butcher also recommended shoulder bone to me some time but I don't remember if it was expensive so it might not be the best option.

My mum always made oxtail stew, I’m 63 and both my husband and I love oxtail stew or soup. We are British but have been in Australia 40 years, the Australians think were weird eating oxtail! 🙃 they don’t know what their misssing.

excellent video! I would like to add that when you're all done with your bone broth bones, you can dehydrate them in oven or dehydrator, then crush and pulverize to make homemade bone meal for your garden 😉

Mary, you did an amazing job explaining the different types of bones.

Mary , I have watched several videos on the bone broth , but I like yours the best. You seem like such a sweet lady. Thanks! So much for the information. 😊

Came to learn but stayed for the personality. I’ve been binge watching just because you are very pleasant. Thanks for so many helpful tips and thorough style of explaining.

This is great! I really need to binge watch your older videos. Thanks, Mary

Hi Mary!!! I’m so excited that I found your channel! This is everything I’ve been looking for. You are just the sweetest woman ever ☺️ It makes me feel so warm inside every time you say “Hi sweet friends!” I’m also an NYC girl with dreams of living the simple life. For now, I’ll just live vicariously through you. Thanks for these videos. You’re awesome!

Im thrilled to find this channel. Thank you sooo much for sharing this with us. I look forward to doing this & finding other good thrills ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Thank you Mary, very informative ! Absorbing all this valuable information !!!

Thank you Mary, I never knew I could reuse the bones! I am making bone broth for my pups so this is definitely helpful in keeping it cost effective ☺

I just found your channel this weekend! I’ve never watched a 10+ minute YouTube video and certainly hvent taken the time to comment anything....until I discovered your videos! You are such a joy to watch! Thank you so much for all the great information and just for being so sweet and charming! You genuinely love what you’re doing! The editing is great and I truly appreciate how thorough you are! Keep the videos coming! 💕

Only just discovered these videos - absolutely fantastic Mary! I think the best advice I’ve been given all year is how to use my vegetable cut offs- i have never thought of using them for broth and it’s just another way to stop throwing out more waste. Just love these videos so informative and enjoyable to watch xx

This is just fabulous, Mary! I am learning so much and will be much more confident next time I shop for beef bones. Such a good point you make that we should just do it and not wait because we don’t feel we can afford the very best. We should operate on the Good, Better, Best principle. Strive for whatever level we can achieve at this moment. You are so inspirational. Thank you.

Beautiful!!! Thank you!

What an informative and educative video. Thank you!
