Not only is bone broth full of nutrients, but it's also very easy to make on your own. I love this recipe because you can throw everything in the crockpot and go!
Directions
The Healthy Foodie has a great foolproof recipe that I have listed below. You can personalize this recipe to suit your liking. Add your favorite herbs and vegetables, and bones you have on hand, and let the crockpot do the rest!
Homemade Bone Broth
Ingredients:
- 3-4 lbs of mixed beef bones, oxtail, knuckles, neckbones and/or short ribs
- 2 medium carrots
- 3 celery stalks
- 2 medium onions
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 bay leaf
- 10-12 cups water
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place the bones in a single layer on a baking sheet or roasting pan; roast for 60 minutes, flipping each bone over halfway through cooking time.
- Place chopped vegetables (don't even bother peeling them), bay leaf, and vinegar in 7-quart slow cooker. Add roasted bones and cover completely with water.
- Cook on LOW for 18-36 hours, until deep brown and aromatic.
- Carefully remove the larger pieces with a slotted spoon and place them in a colander set over a large bowl to collect the excess broth. Then, strain the broth through a fine meshed sieve, or through a strainer that's been lined with cheesecloth.
- Transfer the bone broth into jars and refrigerate promptly. When cooled, remove fat layer and save it for cooking.
- Reheat before serving and season to taste.
