Fat-free Gravy

Ingredients

 * 1 cup broth & defatted drippings
 * 2 tsp all purpose flour
 * 1 tsp cornstarch
 * 1 tsp ketchup
 * 1 pinch salt
 * 1 pinch freshly ground pepper
 * 1 pinch basil (beef) or sage (chick)

Directions
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. ¼ serving, 1++ extra 3 g carbohydrate, 1 g protein, 16 calories
