Bone Marrow Preparation

From jencathen 17 years ago

Many medieval recipes call for bone marrow and many don't know how to prepare. I found the following explanation by Sally Fallon.

Soak the marrow bones (cut 2-3 inches in length) in cold water, changed several times, for 12-24 hours. This process makes the marrow turn a pale creamy pink color instead of the unappetizing grey.
After the soaking, cover the bones with cold water, bring slowly to a boil and barely simmer for about 20 minutes.
Scoop the cylinder of marrow out with the handle of a small spoon.

I love marrow bones but don't do them very often do to colesterol issues. Great tip about soaking them. I usually just eat them the unappetizing way .... ;-)~ I do like a squeeze of lemon and little salt & pepper... Thanks Jim
