Make nourishing, gut-healing bone broth right in your own kitchen. This recipe is a simple project resulting in a flavorful and restorative stock.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lbs of assorted bones (chicken, beef, or a mix)
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 2 carrots, roughly chopped
  • 3 celery stalks, roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt (or to taste)
  • Water to cover

Instructions

  1. Place all bones in a large stockpot.
  2. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the pot.
  3. Pour the apple cider vinegar over the ingredients. This helps draw minerals from the bones.
  4. Cover all ingredients completely with cold water, about 1 inch above the solids.
  5. Bring the water to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to the lowest simmer setting.
  6. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during the first hour.
  7. Add the peppercorns, bay leaves, parsley, and salt.
  8. Simmer, uncovered or partially covered, for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours. Keep the simmer very gentle.
  9. Check periodically and add more water if the liquid drops below the solids.
  10. Once simmering time is complete, turn off the heat.
  11. Carefully strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or container. Discard the solids.
  12. Let the broth cool slightly before transferring it to jars.
  13. Refrigerate until the fat solidifies on top, then skim the fat layer off if desired.

Notes

  • Using a mix of marrow bones and joint bones gives the best gelatin content.
  • If you want a darker beef broth, roast the beef bones at 400°F for 30 minutes before adding them to the pot.
  • For the best flavor, use filtered water.
  • Adjust salt at the end, after the broth has reduced.
