How to make bone broth

Updated: Mar 23

What you’ll need:

High quality bones

Crockpot

Mesh filter

Funnel

Glass jars &/or tupperware for storage

Step 1: Find quality bones.

My favorite places to buy bones locally are The Piggery in Ithaca, Side Hill Farmers in Manlius, Autumn’s Harvest Farm in Romulus, Craincrest Farm in West Winfield & Greyrock Farm in Cazenovia

Step 2: Roast bones.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees & places bones on a sheet pan. Roast for 30 minutes.

Step 3: Cook broth.

Remove pan of bones from oven & place in crockpot. Cover bones to fill the pot with spring water. Set heat on low & cook for 36 hours.

Optional: Add in desired ingredients such as garlic, onion, mushrooms, herbs, thyme, rosemary etc.

Step 4: Strain broth using a mesh filter or cheese cloth. Set up mesh filter & funnel over your storage vessel. Use a ladle to transport the liquid from the crockpot into storage. Store in glass containers & let cool in the fridge. Once it cools all of the fat will rise to the top. You can scrape this off & use it to cook with!

**the fat is one of the healthiest things you can cook with 🙂

**use broth within 4 days, freeze what you won’t use right away & save for later!

**drink broth or use for cooking & soups. Flavor with butter, s&p!
