Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 quarts filtered water
  • 2+ lbs bones from a good source (marrow bones work well)
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 Tbsp mineral salt

Equipment

  • Stockpot optional, for stovetop method
  • Pressure Cooker optional, for pressure cooker method
  • Slow Cooker optional, for slow cooker method

Method
 

Stovetop Method
  1. Place all ingredients in a large stockpot and bring to boil. Lower the heat so the water is barely simmering, cover. Occasionally, skim the surface for any scum that may appear during cooking.
  2. Cook for at least 8 hours, up to 24 hours, making sure to check periodically. The longer you cook your bones the more rich in nutritious the broth will be.
Electronic Pressure Cooker Method (ex: Instapot)
  1. Place all ingredients in a pressure cooker, making sure not to exceed the fill line. Lock the lid and place over high heat until the cooker comes to high pressure. An electronic pressure cooker will automatically turn down to the lowest setting that will maintain pressure as long as the lid remains sealed. Ensure the value is looked and not venting.
  2. Let the broth cook sealed this way for 3 hours.
  3. Release the valve carefully.
  4. Let the broth depressurize and cool naturally.
Slow Cooker Method
  1. Place all ingredients in a slow cooker.
  2. Place the lid on and slow cook on low for 8 to 24 hours. The longer the better!
  3. Be careful to cool each sip and enjoy!
