Bone Broth
By Sarica Cernohous, L.Ac. MSTOM, BSBA Naturallylivingtoday.com
• Plan to start your broth with 4-5 marrow, feet, neck, or shank bones. Bones can be purchased from grassfedbones.com or your local rancher. Look for bones that are 100% Grass fed and finished.
• You need 4-5 bones for a 4-day stock. Every 4 or 5 days you will need fresh bones.
• If you’re using organic chicken or turkey, choose either whole birds or cuts such as thighs, backs, drumsticks and necks that have the skin and bones intact; include the giblets if they’re available. You can also use the carcass from a roasted bird.
• For fish, include the entire head and all the bones.
Add to this:
• Purified water, 3-4 quarts.
• Celtic Sea Salt, 2-4 tablespoons (best to start low and adjust flavor as needed after cooking).
• An acid (usually raw apple cider vinegar, organic balsamic vinegar, naturally fermented unseasoned rice vinegar).
• NO whole onions or Garlic, BUT you may do powders of these items as well as other herbs and spices.
Place everything into a cool crock-pot, and set it for a 4-hour cook time. Fill the pot with enough water to leave only about 1.5″ of space at the top, and cover with the lid. At the end of the 4-hour setting, it will kick into the “keep warm” setting, where it will stay until you direct it otherwise (use a meat thermometer to insure that your lowest setting is at least 180 degrees Fahrenheit). Allow the ingredients to all cook together for at least 14 hours, preferably 20 or 24.
Do you have any favorite spices to add to your broth? We would love for you to share that with us.
