Already have Recipe Keeper?
Ingredients
- 3-4 lb Bones (chicken, beef, or pork)
- Water 10-12 cups (cold)
- Apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon
- Optional vegetables -
- Carrots (1-2, chopped)
- - Celery (1-2 stalks, chopped)
- - Onion (1, quartered)
- - Garlic (1-2 cloves, whole)
- OR use what you would like to use - it's all up to you, and you can make all of your bone broth batches different according to the taste you are going for.
- OR see BECK'S HOMEMADE BONE BROTH for the things I generally like to use - the crockpot I have is 7 quarts, while the Instant Pot is only 4 quarts, so add your 10-12 cups cold water and bones before adding the other ingredients so you don't have too many solids and not enough water:
- • 3-4 lb chicken feet and/or good quality beef bones (use more or less depending on the size of your pot) chicken feet are not available everywhere, and that’s fine; they are the richest in collagen content however.
- • 1 whole onion, skin on, cut into quarters
- • 2-3 carrots, skin on, cut into chunks
- • 2-3 celery ribs, cut into chunks
- • 1 whole head garlic
- • 1 large piece fresh ginger
- • ½ cup apple cider vinegar (use less for instant pot, as recommended above)
- • Splash of olive oil
- • Sea salt to taste
- • About 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
- • Any other herbs you want to use – right now I have fresh sage, oregano, marjoram in the garden and throw a handful or so into the crock
- • Filtered water to fill crockpot
Directions
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Place the bones in the Instant Pot. Add the chopped vegetables and apple cider vinegar.
- Add Water:
- Pour in enough cold water to cover the ingredients, ensuring not to exceed the maximum fill line of the pot.
- Pressure Cook:
- For chicken bones, set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 120 minutes.
- For beef bones, set it for 180 minutes.
- Natural Release: After cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 20-30 minutes.
- Strain the Broth: Open the lid carefully, strain the broth to remove solids, and store it in jars.
