Homemade Bone Broth Recipe Notes

  • Bone Selection: Use a mix of bones for richer flavor and nutrition. Roasted bones (beef shanks, oxtails, or chicken carcasses) enhance the broth’s depth.
  • Vinegar Importance: The apple cider vinegar helps extract minerals from the bones. Don’t skip this step!
  • Cooking Time: The longer you simmer, the richer the flavor and nutrients. Aim for at least 12 hours, but 24-48 hours is ideal for maximum extraction.
  • Skimming Fat: As the broth cooks, a layer of fat may form on top. You can skim this off during cooking or after cooling.
  • Storage: Store bone broth in airtight containers in the fridge for up to a week or freeze in smaller portions for longer shelf life. Ice cube trays work well for freezing small amounts.
  • Flavor Variations: Feel free to add additional herbs and spices (like ginger, turmeric, or peppercorns) for extra flavor and health benefits.
  • Use of Broth: This versatile broth can be used in soups, risottos, sauces, or enjoyed on its own as a warming drink.

Instructions

  1. Roast the Bones (Optional): For a richer flavor, roast beef bones in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 30 minutes until browned.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large stockpot or slow cooker, add the bones, apple cider vinegar, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, herbs, and any additional spices you like.
  3. Add Water: Pour in enough water to cover the bones by about an inch.
  4. Cook:
  5. Stovetop: Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 12-24 hours, adding water as needed.
  6. Slow Cooker: Set on low and cook for 24-48 hours.
  7. Strain: Once the broth is ready, use a slotted spoon to remove the solids. Then, strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pot.
  8. Cool and Store: Let the broth cool. Skim off any fat that rises to the top if desired. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
  9. Enjoy: Use the bone broth as a base for soups, stews, or simply sip it warm!
