Take a large paper shopping bag; open and place it in
one of the freezer drawers or shelves. If your freezer
has limited space and is just one big bin, you may want
to use zip top plastic bags and label them with the
contents (e.g., broth veggies, broth bones: unused,
broth bones: used 1 time, etc.).
Over the course of the week or several weeks, throw all
bones and meat scraps in the bag in your freezer drawer.
If you want to make neutral broths, you can start a
separate bag for vegetable scraps, vegetable peelings,
and the odds and ends that you chop off of vegetables.
Some examples are: onion peels, the peeled skins of
carrots, garlic skins, salad scraps, artichoke tips, the
tough ends of asparagus, kale stems, and pea pods. You
can also throw all the vegetable scraps and bones in one
bag if you are planning to make a flavored broth.
Keep adding vegetable scraps, meat scraps, and bones to
your bag in the freezer until it’s full and you’re ready
to make your broth.
If you are ready to make a broth and you don’t have
enough meat and bones to get started, you can go to the
health-food store or farmer’s market and purchase the
necks, feet, backs, and wings of a chicken (these are
inexpensive parts of the chicken that have a tremendous
amount of nutritional value). Other options for a
gelatin-rich broth are lamb neck, pig’s feet, beef feet,
marrow bones, or beef bones. Add these to your bag until
you’re ready to make the broth.
Add 1 or 2 (3") pieces of seaweed, like wakame or
digitata, for extra minerals.
Put all of the contents from the bag in your freezer
into a stainless steel stockpot. Alternatively, you can
use your crockpot to make this even easier!
Pour water so that it just covers the top of your bones,
meat, and vegetables. Add 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar.
Let this sit for 60 minutes, to allow the apple cider
vinegar set in.
Add 2 teaspoons of sea salt and 10 black peppercorns.
Add more if needed when the broth is finished and you
can taste it.
Turn your burner to high heat, put a lid on the pot, and
bring the water to a boil (set your crockpot to high).
As soon as it’s boiling, turn the heat down to very low
and allow the pot to simmer as follows (use the low
setting on your crockpot):
1 hour for vegetables only (veggie stock)
3 hours for meat stock
Up to 24 hours for bone broth
When your broth has finished simmering, strain the
liquid out of the pot with a fine mesh strainer, making
sure to ladle the broth in jars or a large bowl.
You may now compost your vegetable scraps and save your
bones for another use, if desired (they can be used up
to 3 times for broth and more if you’ve only simmered
for a shorter time for meat stock). If you have any
meaty bones and want to make pate or add the meat to
stews and soups, set it aside for future use.
Put the broth into the refrigerator. When it chills and
you are ready to use the broth, remove the fat layer
that will accumulate on the top (you can save this for
cooking fat).
Start a new bag of bones and vegetable scraps in your
freezer for your next batch of bone broth and repeat the
steps. Your body will love you for continuing to nourish
it in this manner!
