Minerals, protein, collagen, a rich flavor + a zillion other things that make this so great for a mama recovering 🫶🏻

You need:
Bones - rotisserie chicken carcass, various beef/pork bones, any will do. I keep a baggie in my freezer that I add to over a few months.
Water - enough to JUST cover the bones. The greater bone to water ratio, the more gelatinous it can be.
Not necessary but tastes good: Onion, carrots, garlic, celery, sage…. Whatever you have on hand to add to the flavor profile.
Acid - a few tbsp of vinegar or lemon juice to help the breakdown process
Salt and pepper to your liking

Pressure cooker/instapot: high pressure for 2 hours and a 30 minute natural release

Crock pot: cook on low for 12+ hours

Stove top: bring to a boil then reduce to a low simmer, covered for 12+ hours

CAREFULLY strain your broth and allow to cool before adding it to your jars (or for an easier option, silicone molds).
Go for jars without a neck (unlike mine pictured) you have a lower chance of breaking lol.

Once it’s cool enough to work with, add to your jar/mold and freeze for up to 3 months.

I’m often asked what’s the difference between bone broth and a chicken/beef stock. Mostly it is time and the breakdown of the actual bone. By cooking it either at high pressure or for an extended period of time, the bone really starts to break down and a lot of the amazing nutrients within the bone are released out into the broth. Often with this homemade broth, it is a lot more gelatinous than stock/ or shelf stable store bought bone broth when it cools. That’s a good thing indicating more collagen!
