     Title: Fat-Free Gravy
Categories: Sauces, Diabetic, Low-fat/cal
     Yield: 4 servings

     1 c  Broth & defatted drippings          1 pn Salt
     2 ts All purpose flour                   1 pn Freshly ground pepper
     1 ts Cornstarch                          1 pn Basil (beef) or sage (chick)
     1 ts Ketchup

 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.
