DIET
Once you’ve transitioned to the full diet, you can replace stock with bone broth in your soups and for sipping between meals. Cooked over a longer time, bone broth is full of minerals and stomach-healing gelatin.
Prep Time 1 hour, 15 minutes |
Cook Time 24 to 72 hours |
Makes 4 quarts (4l) |
Serving Size 1 cup |
INGREDIENTS
4 qt (4l) spring or filtered water
½ cup apple cider vinegar
1 (3- or 4-lb.; 1.5- to 2kg) beef knuckle and marrow bones
2 lb. (1kg) meaty bones such as oxtail or short ribs
2 medium stalks celery, chopped into thirds
2 large carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 medium yellow onions, cut into quarters
Unrefined sea salt (no additives)
METHOD
1 In a large stockpot, combine spring water, apple cider vinegar, beef knuckle and marrow bones, and meaty bones, adding more water to completely cover bones if needed.
2 Add celery, carrots, and yellow onions. Set heat to high, and bring to a boil, skimming any scum off top as needed.
3 Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 24 to 72 hours. (You can use a slow cooker for this if you like.) The longer broth simmers, the more gelatin is released.
4 Strain broth through a fine-mesh strainer. Return any bone marrow to broth, and season with sea salt. Cool to 40°F (4.4°C).
5 Refrigerate broth in heatproof jars with tight-sealing lids for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.
Variation
Chicken Bone Broth
Replace beef bones with a 3- or 4-pound (1.4- to 4kg) chicken, organic and pastured if possible; 2 to 4 chicken feet; and 1 chicken neck (optional). Then proceed as directed.
