recipe WEDNESDAY:Bone Broth

Bone Broth 


There are numerous surprising benefits to bone broth that we wanted to highlight for the cold winter season. Not only does bone broth promote digestion, makes your joints happy it also inhibits infections. Who couldn't use more of that during the winter season? 

3-4lbs beef marrow and knuckle bone
2 lbs meaty bones (like short ribs)
½c raw apple cider vinegar
4 qts  spring water
3 celery stalks, halved
3 carrots, halved
Sea salt

Place bones in a pot, add apple cider vinegar, salt and water, and let the mixture sit for 1 hour. This will draw the minerals out of the bones. Add the vegetables and bring to a boil. As this boils, a filmy scum may rise to the top which you can skim off. Reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 24 hours. Let the broth cool and strain it for any parts that remain.  
Drink the broth as is or store in fridge up to 5 to 7 days, it is also great for freezing.
