Easy Crockpot Recipe for Bone Broth
Bone broth is nutrient-packed and super simple to make. Learn why bone broth heals and how to make a delicious simple homemade crockpot bone broth! There are so many uses for bone broth and I’m sharing my favorite ways and recipes that use it!
Ingredients
- 2 lb bones (beef, chicken, lamb, pork, etc)
- 2 celery stalks
- 2 carrots
- 1/2 onion
- 1-2 garlic cloves (smash with your hand to open the smell)
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- In a 6-quart crockpot add the leftover bones (with any leftover meat removed) and veggie scraps.
- Add the apple cider vinegar.
- Add the sea salt.
- Cover with enough water to the top and place the lid on.
- Simmer on low for 12-24 hours (the longer the better!).
- After 12-24 hours, remove the lid and allow the cooling process to start. Strain the liquid out using a fine mesh strainer, discard the bones/vegetables, and finish cooling the broth in the fridge uncovered. When the broth has cooled, remove the layer of fat that hardens at the top (there may be fat depending on the bones used).
- Store in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge for use within 1 week, or freezer until you need it!
Notes
You can also make bone broth on the stovetop in a large stock pot or in an instant pot pressure cooker. Use a low simmer on the stovetop for a long cooking time or cook on high pressure for 30 minutes in the instant pot. If you don’t have a crock pot, those methods will work as well!
