   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.
