This bone broth, a supercharged stock that simmers for so long that the bones become fragile and release all their goodness, is both healthy and delicious. Additionally, the extended cooking process extracts more collagen and nutrients, which many believe can benefit joints, gut health, and the immune system. Make it in your Instant Pot, slow cooker, or on the stovetop.
Equipment for Making Bone Broth at Home
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds Bones (Large bones, short ribs, feet, knuckles, neck or even oxtails)
- 8 cups Water
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups Mixed vegetables (such as onions, celery, and carrots, left in 2 inch chunks)
- 1 Bay leaves
Instructions:
Instant Pot Bone Broth
- Gather the variety of bones.
- Add water to about 2 inches above the bones. If you add too much, you may get a very watery broth. Remember you can always add more later to the cooked bone broth, but removing too much water is a total time suck.
- Add the apple cider vinegar.
- Add other flavorings. I like to use salt, bay leaves, a large onion chopped in quarters, and a carrot or two.
- Set the pressure cooker to high pressure and cook for two hours.
- Once the two hours have passed, you should allow the pressure to gradually release on its own. This should take about an hour.
- Strain the broth into Mason jars using a fat skimmer. Put the broth in the refrigerator overnight. Remove the disk of fat that accumulates on top and discard. Now, you have this briny, tasty bone broth ready to use.
- You will likely have a jellied broth, and this is perfect. If you don’t, either you used too much water, or you used bones that don’t contain a lot of collagen. However, rest assured, the broth still retains all the benefits of bone broth.
Slow Cooker Bone Broth
- Add all of the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for a minimum of 18 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Allow to cool.
- Strain the broth into Mason jars using a fat skimmer. Put the broth in the refrigerator overnight. Remove the disk of fat that accumulates on top and discard. Now, you have this briny, tasty bone broth ready to use.
- You will likely have a jellied broth, and this is perfect. If you don’t, either you used too much water, or you used bones that don’t contain a lot of collagen. However, rest assured, the broth still retains all the benefits of bone broth.
