Preparation
- Serving size:12.70 oz (calculated)1 cup (by recipe creator)
- To a large pot add bones that you chopped up, either cutting them in smaller pieces or adding incisions. Be sure to use bones that still have a bit of meat on them. We used about 30 oz (850 g) of bones from a lamb shank. You can also use chicken bones, beef bones, etc.
- Fill the pot until the bones are completely covered. For 30 oz of bones, we used about 12 cups (2.8 l) of water.
- Add some salt and apple cider vinegar. The acidity of the vinegar helps break down the collagen. Alternatively, use lemon juice.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat.
- Cover with a lid, leaving it just a little ajar, and let simmer for 10 to 12 hours.
- The volume should reduce by about 1/3, giving you about 8 cups of bone broth.
- Optionally remove the lid to reduce the liquid even further to get a richer broth.
- Remove the bones, the meat should fall off easily. Don't throw it out, it's delicious and you can make a nice meal by combining the meat with some of the broth. Just be careful in case there are some smaller pieces of bone in the meat.
- Strain the broth and season to taste.
- Enjoy!
- You can freeze the broth in jars. Make sure to leave some space in the jars, so that the liquid can expand in the freezer. It will easily keep for 2 months or longer.
- When cold, the broth may gelatinize due to the collagen. It will liquify again when reheating.
