1 c Broth & defatted drippings 1 pn Salt

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.
