Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Some left over venison leg bones that I'm tired of seeing in the freezer.Any meat left on them?
If they are femurs, then you'll need to cut them (bone saw would be best, you don't want any splinters or dust in the meal).
Then, into a slow cooker with them, cover with water (some red wine is good too) and let that simmer for a good 8 hours. Then, depending on how much meat is on the bones, you can either treat them like mutton/lamb shanks that have been slow-cooked, or pull the bones out, hand-pull what meat you can off of them, and use the resulting broth as a cooking medium for stew. Quartered potatoes, chopped onion, diced celery, carrots, any other veggies, some garlic, salt, pepper slow cook it till the veggies are done, re-add the pulled meat (or shanks) and enjoy with some good crusty bread.Old Recon has had many a bone stew in his time.
I love my slow cooker. Making sauces, broths, soups and stews are a guilty pleasure of mine. It's a great way to get a couple of meals out of scraps, bones or a carcass. For example, I smoked a turkey for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. The carcass makes the most amazing broth. Clear, smokey, velvety, and really asking for for good ideas. One batch went into a turkey noodle soup, the other became a tetrazzini.
