Here is how I make my bone broth
Recipe for Bone Broth
- 1-2 chicken carcass
- 1-2 onions quartered
- 3-4 garlic gloves smashed
- 2 carrots
- 2-3 stalks of celery
- fresh parsley
- 1 tsp himalayan pink salt
- 1 tsp pepper corns
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinagar
- filtered water
Add all ingredients to a crock pot, cover with the filtered water.
Let it go on warm for at least 24 hours(beef bones for at least 48 hrs) – add more filtered water if it gets low.
DO NOT let it boil – you want it to be a low simmer the whole time.
When done discard solids and strain remainder in a bowl through a colander. Put the bowl in an ice bath to chill it down so you can store it right away IF you’re not immediately using it. (You don’t want bacteria to form and lose all your nutrients)
Put in glass jars to store. Fill jar LEAVING an inch at the top of each jar for expansion.
Bone broth is great to just have in a cup on it’s own, or use it to make a soup.
