Savory Bone Broth

Savory Bone Broth
Ingredients
- 4 lbs beef bones best from local / grass fed cows with marrow
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 4 stalks celery chopped
- 4 whole carrots chopped
- 2 medium onions chopped
- 4 cloves garlic smashed / minced
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 1 tsp black peppercorns or black ground pepper works!
- 15-20 cups filtered water fill pot / crockpot almost to top
Optional: Fresh Herbs to add
- bay leaves
- parsley
- thyme
Instructions
- Optional: but recommended (especially using 1st time bones with lots of fat) Preheat oven 450. Line baking sheet with foil and place bones in oven for 30-40 minutes flipping half way
- Once bones are out of oven place in a large stockpot or crockpot & fill with water and apple cider vinegar. Allow this to sit for up to an hour at room temperature.
- Add in vegetables, Salt, Pepper & Garlic. Bring water to a boil, then reduce to simmer (low setting on crockpot). Let this simmer for 24-72 hours. I usually go for 48. Skim fat off the top first 2hrs.
- Last hour add in fresh herbs. Then turn off and allow to cool before you strain it.
- Transfer to an air tight container and place in the refrigerator to cool overnight. Scrap off fat from top - should be gelatinous when cold!
- Store in air-tight container in fridge (use within 7 days) or freeze for up to 6 months using it when you feel a cold coming on or in soups and stews throughout the fall /winter!
