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.
