Scrappy Bone Broth
Ingredients:
-
Bones leftover from the holiday meal*
-
Vegetable discards from meal prep**
-
3 Tbsp Apple cider vinegar
-
2 tsp freshly ground peppercorns
-
Sea salt
*Can be any bones (chicken, turkey, ham, beef etc.). It’s alright if there is still some meat left on them.
**Use the ends of your onions, celery, carrots etc. And/or the vegetables that need to be used from your fridge. Also add any leftover herbs and their stalks.
Directions:
-
Prepping: Preheat the oven to 400℉. Put the bones on a baking sheet and roast them for about 10-15 minutes or until they are fragrant.
-
Boiling: Put bones into a large pot with any leftover drippings from roasting them. Add enough water to the pot to just cover the bones. Add the apple cider vinegar and peppercorns.
-
Waiting: Bring them to a boil. Then immediately bring down to a simmer and put a lid on the pot. Let simmer for 8 hours for poultry bones and 10-12 for bigger bones.
-
Final Touches: Add any desired vegetables 30 minutes before they are done. Add herbs and salt to taste 5 minutes before you are done simmering the bones. Strain the liquid out and discard the rest.
-
Enjoying: You can enjoy it right away or freeze it for later. It’s great for soups, stews, or sipping.
