Ingredients
  • 2-3lbs leftover chicken carcass or beef bonesor beef bones plus marrow bones or just the bone marrow
  • 2tbsp Organic Apple Cider Vinegarusing the vinegar aids n pulling out the healthy nutrients!
  • 2-3cloves garlicI remove the peel but you don’t have to cut them
  • 1 onionred or white, cut in quarters
  • 2-3 carrotsnot too necessary but do add sweet flavor
  • 2-3stalks celeryleaves and all, can be broken to sections to fit in pot
  • 1tbsp parlsey
  • 2tsp thymeoptional
  • 1tsp rosemaryoptional
  • 4-6cups waterdepends on how many bones you have, but you want enough water to submerge the bones
Instructions
  1. Collect the bones to be used, stripped of any meat leftover if you’re planning to eat that meat or use for a soup.
  2. Lay across baking sheet
  3. roast at 350 F for about 30 minutes
  4. Remove from oven. Place in crock pot or stovetop pot.
  5. Fill with water and add Apple Cider Vinegar
  6. Allow to sit for about 20 minutes to let ACV do its work
  7. Add remaining ingredients, turn on crock pot to high or stove top to med-high
  8. Let simmer/slight boil for 2-4 hours on stove, 4-6 hours in crock pot for chicken broth, longer if you want. For beef or marrow bones, much longer is preferable, 10 – 24 hours best to get all the goodness from bones!
  9. If you see some fat collecting at top, you can skim it but I usually don’t see too much during the simmering process, however I do see plenty when the marrow bone broth is finish and solidified. That’s when you can remove the top layer of fat. Place in jars with about an inch space at top and put in refrigerator for a week or freeze for six months.
