Equipment

  • 1 Crock Pot Can use a Dutch Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb bones Preferrably a mix of marrow bones. I like to use an entire rotisserie chicken
  • 8 cups water
  • 2 tblsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups celery stalks, halved optional
  • 1 cup carrots, halved optional
  • 1 cup onion, quartered optional
  • 3 Cloves Garlic optional
  • 2 sprigs thyme, dried or fresh optional
  • 2 sprigs rosemary, dried or fresh optional
  • salt/pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to a crockpot (bones, scraps, fat, etc). Cover with water and cook on low for 12-24+ hours. You want to simmer for least 12, but the longer the better.
  • Allow broth to cool, and then run through a fine mesh strainer into a large pot or container.
  • Storage: Store in airtight containers for up to 5 days, or put in the freezer until ready to use! I like to store in a half gallon Mason Jar.
  • Compost the left over veggies, and enjoy!
