Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: about 8 cups
 
Ingredients
  • 1 – 1.5 pounds of chicken bones [I used the bones from a whole chicken that I roasted earlier in the week]
  • 1 small onion, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 2-3 carrots, chopped coarsely
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped coarsely
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon peppercorns
  • 1 Tbsp raw, unrefined apple cider vinegar [I use Bragg's® brand]
  • water to cover bones + veggies completely
Instructions
  1. Add all ingredients to a crockpot set to low.
  2. Cover and cook for 12-24 hours. I usually do about 18 hours.
  3. Using a fine mesh strainer, pour broth, bones, veggies + peppercorns into strainer - catching the broth in a large bowl.
  4. Use broth immediately or store in air tight mason jars.
  5. Will stay for 1 week in refrigerator, or you can freeze.
  6. If freezing, leave 1-2 inches of room at the top of your mason jar because the broth will expand when frozen.
  7. Use in soups, stir-frys or just sip on a cup of broth.
