Re: Sugar in chicken broth

Dump it (or give it to someone else who would enjoy it) and start over. Sugar

is sugar. It is a big deal - especially on intro.

All bouillion is illegal, as it probably also contains things like MSG and lots

of other

illegal and bad for you things.

Invest in a mega pot - and use the new pot to cook double or triple the amount

that you've

been cooking. More pot = less cooking time.

We are not supposed to use ready made chicken broth for

that reason. We are supposed to make our own from the recipe

on BTVC.

There have been several posts recently on the benefits of home made

broths with bones. Commercial broths do not give the same

benefits as they take short cuts and always have additives.

Even a small bit of sugar is a feast for bacteria. Sorry.

Dump it, get some chicken wings and boil up a batch of healthy

broth.

Don't kick yourself. Mistakes are common in the beginning and we've all been

there. This is why this board it here- to help.
