Homemade Healing Bone Broth
This recipe explains how to use an electric pressure cooker to make chicken bone broth.
Servings 4 cups
Equipment
- Pressure Cooker
Ingredients
- 1-2 lbs chicken bones I use one whole chicken with the meat removed
- 1 onion
- 2-3 stalks celery
- 3-5 carrots
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 5 cups of water Enough to cover half the bones but no more.
Instructions
- Dump everything into the pressure cooker. Seal the the steam vent valve. Set for 2 hours and 25 minutes (I have done as little as 1 hour and 30 minutes).
- When cooking is complete, let it naturally release.
- Pour broth through a screen and store in a mason jar in the fridge.
- Or, you can pour into silicone ice trays or cupcake inserts and make frozen brothsicles.
Notes
You can also use a slow cooker and cook for 20-24 hours to achieve the same results.
When the broth has cooled, you will see a fat layer sealing the top of the broth. It's recommended that you remove this before eating, especially if the chicken you used was not organic, free range. Animals store toxins in their fat cells.
Keeps for 2 weeks WITH the fat sealing the top of the broth.
