Description
A simple homemade bone broth recipe that is healthy, full of collagen and nutrients and delicious!
Ingredients
Units Scale
- 4 Celery Stalks
- 4 Large Carrots
- 1 Large Onion
- 5 Garlic Cloves
- 2–3 lbs Grassfed Beef Bones or Raw Chicken Meat and Bones
- 3 Bay Leaves
- 2–3 Allspice
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste (add near the end)
Instructions
- Gather all of your ingredients. Roughly chop the onion, celery and carrots and place them in your stainless steel pot, dutch oven or slow cooker.
- Add all of the rest of the ingredients and spices to your pot (except salt and pepper). Add your filtered water, covering roughly 1-2 inches above your bones and set your stove top (or slow cooker) to a simmer. (Adding more water may over-dilute your broth, resulting in a less flavourful end-product).
- Allow your bone broth to simmer for 8-10 hours if using beef bones and 6-8 for chicken. During the first hour, you may notice grayish bubbles or ‘froth’ forming on the surface – these are denatured proteins from the meat on bones. You can leave it or scrape it off. Leaving it will not alter your bone broth in any way, it just won’t be as clear).
-
Once your broth is medium to dark brown and the vegetables are almost translucent, it’s ready! At this point, salt and pepper your broth to taste. Allow it to cool. Once cooled, use a mesh strainer or a cheesecloth to strain the homemade bone broth into clean glass jars.
Notes
Depending on how quickly you plan to use your bone broth you can opt to either store it in the refrigerator, freeze it or can it.
