Ingredients

• 1.5–2kg raw or cooked bones
• 2–3 litres water, enough to cover the bones
• 1–2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• Optional: 1 carrot, chopped
• Optional: 1 celery stick, chopped
• Optional: small handful parsley

Instructions

1. Method
2. Place the bones into a slow cooker or large stock pot.
3. Add enough water to fully cover the bones.
4. Add the apple cider vinegar. This helps draw minerals and collagen from the bones.
5. Leave to sit for 20–30 minutes before cooking.
6. Cook on low:
7. Chicken/turkey bones: 12–24 hours
8. Beef/lamb bones: 24–36 hours
9. Top up with water if needed during cooking.
10. Once finished, strain very thoroughly through a fine sieve. Remove and discard all bones. Never feed cooked bones.
11. Let the broth cool, then place it in the fridge overnight.
12. The next day, remove the layer of fat from the top. The broth underneath should be wobbly and jelly-like.

Notes

Best Bones to Use

For a good jelly-like consistency, use a mix of:

• Chicken carcasses
• Chicken wings or feet
• Turkey necks
• Beef knuckle bones
• Lamb ribs or joints
• Oxtail
• Marrow bones, but not too many as they can make the broth fatty

For the best set, include joint bones, feet, necks or knuckles rather than only marrow bones.
