 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       c            Broth & defatted drippings
  2       ts           All purpose flour
  1       t            Cornstarch
  1       t            Ketchup
  1       pn           Salt
  1       pn           Freshly ground pepper
  1       pn           Basil (beef) or sage (chick)

 A waist-watcher gravy - quite thin.  Serve over meat
 or potatoes.

 Cook up bones as for soup, strain liquid.  Refrigerate
 overnight or until white fat on top can be removed
 with a spoon.  Refrigerate meat drippings from the pan
 and skim off the fat.

 Combine broth, flour and cornstarch in a screw-top
 jar, cover and shake until well combined or use a
 blender for a larger batch.  Pour into saucepan, stir
 in ketchup, salt, pepper and basil for beef (or sage
 for turkey, or other herb of your choice).  Stir-cook
 over medium heat until gravy thickens.  (Mine didn't
 thicken but I had some lumps of flour or cornstarch.)
 Makes about 1 cup.
