Bone marrow question

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I have been cooking bones (with the marrow) in water and I have

question about the marrow. When I cook the bones the marrow melts into

the surrounding water and when I put the pot back into the fridge for

the next day heating there is a layer of fat on the top which I

discard. Is this really the marrow that I am discarding? If I want the

marrow should I just leave the fat in the broth to to be eaten later?

Maybe I should just cook the bones in the oven and scrape out the

marrow and then toss the bones into the soup. If I do that am I still

getting much benefit from the bones in the soup?

Thanks,

Gail
