Chicken Bone Broth Prep Time: 15 Minutes • Cook Time: 4 – 6 Hours In Crock Pot Or Large Stockpot

Yield: 1 gallon of broth.

 

Choose one of the 3 following options:

 

• 3-4 pounds of bony chicken parts (a combo of necks, backs, wings)
  picked carcasses from 2-3 meat chickens
• (aim for 2 pounds of bones for every gallon of water)
• 1 whole free-range chicken with neck & wings cut up

• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
• Purified water to just cover the bones/meat in the pot
• 2 carrots, scrubbed and roughly chopped
• 2 ribs organic celery, including leafy part, roughly chopped
• 1 onion, cut into large chunks
• 1 bunch fresh parsley or cilantro
• 1– 2 whole cloves garlic
• 2 teaspoons peppercorns

Place all the bones and meat in a slow cooker or large stockpot. Add the vinegar and enough purified water to cover everything by 1″. Cover the pot. Bring the water to a boil, then lower heat and simmer over medium/low heat. Use a shallow spoon to carefully skim the film off the top of the broth. If you’re cooking in a slow cooker, wait for about 2 hours until the water gets hot before skimming, but continue with the next step. Add the carrots, celery, onion, tomato (if using), cloves, and peppercorns and reduce the heat to low. You want the broth to barely simmer. Skim occasionally during the first 2 hours. Cook for at least 4 hours or up to 6, adding water as needed to ensure the bones are always covered with water and adding the parsley in the last hour. (You will have to add water during the cooking process.) When the broth is done, turn off the cooker or remove the pot from the heat. Using tongs and/ or a large slotted spoon, remove all the bones and meat. Save the chicken for another recipe. Pour the broth through a fine mesh strainer and discard the solids. Let cool on the counter and refrigerate within 1 hour. You can skim off the fat easily after the broth is chilled, if desired. When chilled, the broth should be very gelatinous. The broth will keep for 5 days in the refrigerator and 3 or more months in your freezer.

4 pounds grass-fed beef bones, preferably marrow, joints, and knuckle bones plus 3 pounds meaty bones such as oxtail, shank, or short ribs. If raw, cook bones at 350 degrees for 30 min. first to improve flavor.

• 2 carrots, scrubbed and roughly chopped
• 2 ribs organic celery, roughly chopped
