Take 2 large bones or 4 medium bones and place in a large cast iron or making sheet

Oil a large cast iron or baking sheet to prevent sticking

Place 2 large bones or 4 medium bones on oiled pan

  • Add onions
  • Carrots
  • Celery
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper

Roast on 400 degrees for 20 minutes

Scrape all the contents of the pan into a stock pot or crock pot and then top off with water.  Simmer on low for 2-12 hours.

Add spices according to taste, I like:

  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic
  • Rosemary
  • Thyme
  • Onion Flakes
  • Turmeric
  • Dry Bay Leaves

I add 1-2 Tbs of Apple Cider Vinegar to help draw out more nutrients from the bones.  It does make the broth slightly tangy. 

I use this broth to make soups in place of bouillon.  I will also sip on it warm as a drink.

To store, let the broth cool and place in freezer safe containers, date and freeze.
