    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.
