You’re amazing. When I was young they still had home-ec classes. I remember not wanting to take it but it’s one of those classes I look back on so fondly and with more gratitude than all others.

Very informative video! Thanks Pam! I've learned to take my bone broth making to the next step...using the bones to make my own bonemeal for the garden. I pressure cook the bones after I've removed all the meat for about 90 minutes to make sure they're soft enough to put into my blender. (I've also used a meat mallet to pulverize it, but that's way more work and I can't get a fine mush). Then I dehydrate the bone mush. Once dried, I put it through my blender to powder it again. For 1000s of years animals died and decayed on the ground. It was one of God's natural fertilizers. Now I can make my own with the bones that normally would go in the trash once I'm done making broth.

This was great ! So fun... thank you for our post!

OMG - you had me laughing after you read all the ingredients. Your comments are so spot on. Love your videos. Thank you for doing this video as we've been trying to figure out if we can do the same. Bless you!

It is so amazing how small your finished powder came to when you started with 4 quarts! This will free up lots of room in pantry and jars to be used for other things. I'm going to try this.

I am extremely sensitive to MSG, I'm talking skull splitting migraines that last for days. When I was younger and in college I spent 2-3 years with a daily migraine. When I figured out the cause I became a label reader. Well, that just opened up many rabbit holes regarding healthy food with quality ingredients. I became even more serious when I was pregnant with my daughter. I started growing my own food and going organic with as many food items as possible. The natural progression was to find ways to preserve food and then purchasing 20 acres. I'm building a hobby farm now and will be moving in this summer. As times change I realized self-sufficiency should be part of the plan which I'm also deeply committed to. I really believe having severe migraines for years ended up being a blessing that shaped the rest of my life. Skills, natural living, spiritual wellbeing, and traditional knowledge have been incorporated into my life. Your channel fits in nicely with that philosophy. Here I am on a Saturday marathon watching your videos :)

Oh your experiment turn out great. Wow you are truly rich now. What a healthy drink over the winter. Guess I am going to have to play with my dehydrator once again. Thank you for sharing all your experiments. Lucky I found both of you.

Great video: the more you can empty those jars, the fewer you have to buy for other things. I have done this by cooking down my broth until a lot less and then f.d. it. Not quite sure, so I keep it in a small jar in the fridge - have done veggie broth, chicken broth, and mushroom broth (yes, there is such a thing). Almost all of the commercial brands have something in them that is a chemical, not food - even the mushroom. And, so now, you have 4 quart jars back to use. I love my f.d. and the cost has long since been paid back to me. And, I know where my food comes from.

Thank you for this video! This will save so much space in my freezer and so much time trying to pressure can! Wonderful!

Bravo! What a great video! Don't tell my other subs, you're my favorite.

Pam, the fats in the powder are going to take longer to reconstitute. I'd give it 5 minutes as a norm. But vs the Knorr and all the salts, I'll take yours first every time. We're saving for our own freeze dryer now. Thanks.

Very good video. Can't wait to try

I really appreciate your rehydrating and tasting of all you make!!!

So glad I found your channel! I just got a freeze dryer and this video is exactly what I was looking for.

So happy for you & your experiment! Wished the freeze dryers were more in my budget. This is just amazing! Congrats! ❤️🌹

As usual….well explained in a clear user friendly manner!

So glad you were in the mood to experiment. Success always makes us happy, thanks for your video.

Thank you so much for all your hard work on this.

Thank you, I ordered a freeze dryer and just waiting and watching useful videos.

What a wonderful discovery! Thank you Pam, I’m surely going to follow your example.

Love it! I plan on getting a freeze dryer , and am making some for family soon ! Healthy and fresh so much better! Thanks !

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing

Wow, you're amazing❤❤❤

Love what you are doing as a channel. Very inspiring and practical...

I love your videos!

You are my hero!

Great video! Thank you and God Bless!

I love your freeze dryer! That is my next big addition on my preparedness journey. I first saw this dryer on Living Traditions Homestead channel.

I’ve been watching all your videos and your scientific approach is much appreciated. It encouraged me to purchase a canner. And your batches are perfectly sized, I’m an empty nester also.

Hi Rose Scottish Chef CALLING!!! Great video.. Just a thought!! Would reducing the water by boiling your liquid stock speed up the process?? also after reducing the liquid content by boiling, would more fat be removed, if you put the reduced stock in the fridge to cool, remove any solidified fat by scooping it off. Stock can of course be reduced to a vegi might/ mar mite consistency through the boiling process.. "less is more" This presentation was outstanding and very informative.. Wanted to scream at the monitor YES YES.. Kindness your way.. Neil Lochness Scottish Highlands.

Great idea, Kelvin is just amazing ! Congrats on another successful experiment !

Well done! ☺

Very cool video. Thank you Red!

So glad I came across this Pam! Got a freeze dryer for Christmas and have been staring at shelf after shelf of homemade broth. Thanks again for your wisdom! Ps-I have a Jim of my own 😉

Rose thank you so much. Loved all your videos. Nelly

Pam-This is so exciting! If you have vacuum -packed it , I can imagine it will last much longer as well. So many uses and almost no room taken up in storage! Big Win. Thanks for all your hard work on being our preserving "explorer"!

Congratulations, Miss Pam on successfully freeze-drying you chicken bone broth and then reconstituting it!!!! I love that you were able to do this!!! Very interesting video. Love watching your experiments!!!

I love my freeze dried bone broth! I have done chicken, beef, ham, and turkey all following your Instant Pot video. I have also pressured canned beef broth and chicken broth recently using my new Nesco canner.

Either the manufacturer waved a slice of beef over the pot of 'bouillon' or the steer walked through the chemical bath with its boots on! Making your own powdered bouillon is the only way you know what's in it and safe for eating.

Love this! Thanks!

We have a freeze dryer and have been making our own backpacking meals for several years, keeping them in Mylar bags for the trails or just camping. Since last year we have focused more on long term storage. I will be using your broth recipe and powdering it. Keep up the great work and thank you!!

This turned out great for you. I have dehydrated some but it does take forever. Appreciated the wisdom on how long it will be able to be stored.

This video is incredible!

Such a good video.love the simplicity of a freesdryer. I first cool my broth and take of all the fat and then simmer it down to almost !! a sirop and then dehydrate it and powder it in the vitamix.Ik works great,but a lot more work.And it stays powder and doesn’t stick together. Keep up the good work,looking forward to your next video.

I’m getting a freeze dryer. I wanted to try bone broth in it. Thank you for sharing!

That was super cool!

Fabulous information! I do not have a freeze drier...yet...However, your successful experiments certainly makes me want one even more!

That is awesome. I am saving for a freeze dry right now. And thus is one of the reason why. Another great video!

I made my first batch of broth after watching you the other day. We get our freeze dryer tomorrow and plan to freeze dry my batch. I can’t wait to give you an update

Hi Rose, Thank you for your heartfelt experiment! And YAY! It does work amazingly well. Presently we are food manufacturers working with USDA and we have learned that if you get a Water Activity Meter you can have shelf stable foods that last until water gets added. If your dried foods register at .85 or less, then there is NO BACTERIA ACTIVITY. Isn't that amazing! The things we learn...

Hi Pam ... For years I've been making chicken broth and freezing it in 1 quart size 5" x 6" blocks. I prefer frozen over canned. But canning does appeal to my "no energy needed" to storage. After watching this video, I am convinced. Gonna order the small Harvest Right today. I too am concerned about the fat but if I store the powder in vacuumed sealed bags, then stick them in the freezer, that should keep them for a year. So even if the freezer fails, the powder would be good. Not like my 5" x 6" cubes which would melt and spoil. Thanks to you and Jim for your videos. Its just like I'm in your kitchen. Have a super day! Bob

This is awesome!! I had no idea I could dehydrate broth. This is definitely on my to do list!! Thank you so much!!

Fantastic. I'm so happy you like it. 😁👍🏻❤

Love today's video what a healthy ✌️❤️ and Great alternative ingredient

I am so excited about this! Thank you. I've been hoping to be able to find a solution to chemical and preservative laden bouillon due to severe allergies. I just received my Harvest Right, so can't wait to try this.

Congratulations on your successful experiment!

Perhaps someone mentioned this already... to be honest I didn't read through each comment. I saw some information just the other day in which they used freezer bags to freeze the broth in first. I am getting ready to try this in a few minutes... before I try pouring the liquid into my trays and make a big ole' mess. P.S. I just love your spirit... your motivation and your attitude... ~

I have a whole shelf of different broths, I can’t wait to get my freeze drier to get that down to a few jars.

Another very interesting experiment and a great success. Wish I had a freeze dryer!

Great job .

Great video....the only thing is......oh how i want a freeze dryer now. but for the time being, i have to settle for my old dehydrator. Today i drying mixed frozen vegis for the winter. thank you Pam, its always a good day when you post a video.

Excellent. Lots of energy resources and your time to make powdered chicken broth. Thank you. Best

amazing!!!!

Very interesting good job.

Probably should add a cracker to help keep the moisture out of the powder? Another great video!

Nice! 👏 👏

I like that little scoop. Did you get that from harvest right? I have been using a spatula

I Am SO Excited! I will can some chicken bone broth and then freeze dry it. I am wondering if I remove most fat and skin if it will be more shelf stable! Thank You for Your FABULOUS VIDEOS!!!

Great outcome! I made an entire roast beef with all the veggies & spices, let it cool enough to run through the vitamix, then put it in the freeze dryer, then powdered it. It was an experiment, but worked out really well, now we have "instant beef soup base"!

Pam, more details on the freeze dryer, please.

Very inspiring, wish i could afford that freeze dryer

SO glad you are getting rid of that nasty powdered stuff! I have always wondered why you used it with the salt and MSG in it.💖💞

Great video. Where did you get that tool that scrapes your trays so easily?

What a wonderful video. I just ordered my dry freezer and will receive it in November. I am curious what do 2 tablespoons of the dried broth weighs in grams! Thank you so so much for all your amazing videos.

I always dehydrate and powder my bone broth, but I sure wish I had a freeze dryer. It would be so much easier.

Bahaha! When you rolled your eyes like an absent minded professor and said, "Actually that's mass but that's a technicality..." I just burst out laughing. It just shows what a natural teacher you are *and* that you know so much science that it's pretty much subconscious to you. As for me, I was trying to go back 40 years to my chem class to try to remember the difference between mass snd weight, lol. No joy, I'm going to have to Google it. I love watching you, because it's like seeing the me I would have been if I'd stayed in school. Love you Pam.

I love this video! I also dream of a freeze dryer. Our first dehydrator will be delivered within the week. Will I be able to dehydrate bone broth with a regular dehydrator? Have you done so? I'd appreciate any tips or tricks from anyone. Can't wait to get started dehydrating! Happy New Year and Blessings to all!

I so appreciate your videos on freeze drying. I have just learned about this and need to investigate the pros and cons of different brands. Did you find a site that compares different ones and their pros and cons? If there is somewhere one can find these comparisons, I would love to know. This would save so much space in my storage area and I am ready to buy. I am so excited to get started on this. Thank you for bringing this to all of us.

What an ASTONISHING space saver! Quite thrilling, really. I ordered a Medium on Sept 10 and I've been like an expectant mother ever since, as if a baby is coming! Getting its room all ready, picking a name (I picked the name HARVEY). I'm not kidding lol This FD is going to solve a LOT of problems and be a fountain of creative expression. The world is changing big time, isn't it.

Thank you 😊

Amazing. I really wanna try this myself. Do you mind sharing what settings you use on the freeze drier?

Wow! Sounds really good. I live in Texas 200 miles from Seabrook, TX which is outside of Houston. I was wondering about using a cracker or 2 to combat the humidity when dehydrating, powdering? You think that would be okay? Thanks so much. Please stay safe and sending hugs to you both 💜🙏😎

Have you thought of freezing the bone broth in ice cube trays and then putting the bone broth ice cubes in the tray to freeze dry in the freeze dryer?

Thanks for sharing 10-6-2021

I make chicken bone broth and freeze dried would be so handy.

Awesome Video as always! If possible....can you a post a video with the freeze dryer working so we can hear how loud the oil less pump is? Thanks for all you do!

Thank you very much Rose-Red I wonder why the chicken is not raw once is going to go to the pot where is going to be made.Thank you.

The thing that bothered me about the knorr is that it’s all salt and sugar. MSG( here comes the haters lol) is in a lot of things and not bad. I’ve done the research, but like you said, WHERE’S THE BEEF. That freeze dryer is looking better all the time.

This is really interesting! I'm a graduate student and we use a freeze dryer all the time in my biochemistry lab to lyophilize various compounds that are sensitive to heat. You did a great job explaining how it works! I've always wondered about lyophilizing food, or even making my own gourmet instant coffee by freeze drying freshly-brewed espresso. Of course I think my supervisor would fire me if I used lab equipment for food LOL, but maybe you could try this?

I enjoy your channel - sane, down-to-earth videos that are each worth watching. On the freeze dryer, you and Jim process lots of food for preparedness as do I but single would the small freeze dryer be worth it or would you suggest just biting the bullet on the medium? I appreciate your input. Thanks.

My family and I cannot eat anything with MSG. It literally makes us ill. To the point of having to go to bed because of a migraine. So thank you so very much for teaching us how to make this.

Awesome! I’m a little confused about the fat content and shelflife, though considering Mountainhouse freeze dried food, can last 25 years and has loads of fat.

I just got a new nesco food dehydrator and want to try to dehydrate broth so I can powder it.. to defat the broth i put the broth in the fridge to get cold then skimmed below the fat .. So happy for you and to see your great success.. MSG is bad stuff..

AWESOME!!!!! This is GREAT!!!! Is there a way to get all the fat out of broth when you make it???? I can hardly wait to start making this!!!!!!

As i am watching your wonderful videos, i wonder if you have any idea about the cost of energy, when you are using your dehydrator machines? After all, it takes 10-15 hours to dehydrate some products . Thank you !

space savers' dream.

I've got chicken necks and feet in the fridge for making broth today. Now I'm wondering if the dehydrator would work to produce some bouillon. (I usually condense the broth way down & freeze it in a small jar.)

Pam and Jim please tell me your opinion, do you think that having a freeze dryer inside an air conditioned (heating and cooling) building would aid in the processing time? I am planning on moving my freeze dryer into such a space where I plan to consolidate the chest freezers, canning and fermenting equipment, a DIY walk in cooler, dry pantry, and prep kitchen on my homestead that will be nearer to the garden area. I am new to your channel and so I am spending a lot of time trying to catch up on your videos so if this question has been asked and answered before please forgive me.

Great videos where do you buy your spatula tool

Hi Pam: Does the freeze dried chicken bone broth need to be vacuum sealed?
