Total Time: 1 day day 10 minutes minutes
Yield: 14 quarts
Cost: $5
Equipment
- 20 quart stockpot
- Fine mesh strainer
- Funnel
- Mason jars with lids and rings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken feet
- 2 lbs Chicken bones
- 5 large Onions
- 1½ tbsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Pepper
- 15 quarts High quality water
- ½ cup Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- To a large stockpot add the chicken feet, bones, onions, vinegar, and seasonings. You can also add any other root vegetables for flavor.
- Pour high quality water into the pot until all the bones and feet are covered.
- Simmer on the stovetop for a minimum of 12 hours. To get the full nutrition from the bones you will need to simmer for at least 18-24 hours. You can let it simmer for up to 48 hours but I find 24 hours to be perfect.
- Once cool run the bone broth through a fine mesh strainer and pour the liquid into mason jars and discard the bones. You can skim the fat off the top of the broth but this is optional. I prefer to leave the fat on.
Notes
How to Store Bone Broth:
-
- Refrigerator - Once the bone broth has cooled pour it into mason jars and store in the fridge for about 5 - 6 days.
-
- Freezer - Once the bone broth has cooled pour it into mason jars leaving about 1 inch headspace to leave room for expansion. It can be stored for up to 12 months in the freezer.
