3-Day Bone Broth
Bone broth is simple and can be prepared on the stove or in a crock-pot. Boiled for a few hours for 3 days in a row.
Bone broths are packed full of minerals and vitamins essential for a healthy body. Rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulphur, collagen, amino acids and other trace minerals. Great for bones, cartilage, joints, tendons, hair, nails and mood.
Historically humans have been boiling bones for centuries, not only for the healing properties but also for economic reasons. By extracting the nutrients out of bones, one can get the health benefits of eating meat when there isn’t any meat available.
- Use the carcass of a chicken or turkey or go out and buy the bones of beef or pork from the butcher. It is essential that the bones be from a free-range animal that has not been treated with hormones or chemical. Chemicals such as these are stored in bone, fat and marrow tissues and will be extracted when you are preparing your broth so choose a clean source.
- Put them in a large stew pot or crock-pot with water to cover at least 2 inches over the top of the contents.
- Add an onion, garlic, celery, carrots – I often throw in vegetable clippings from my compost pot on the counter.
- Bring to a boil. Turn down to simmer and leave it alone.
- Cook for 12 to 24 hours for Chicken Broth OR 24-72 hours for Beef Bone Broth. You can do this for 1-2 hours at a time when it is convenient for you over the 1-3 day period.
- Strain all of the ingredients through a strainer and then after the large parts are removed strain again through a coffee filter or cheesecloth.
- Refrigerate for several hours and if you desire you can skim off the fat when it is cool. Not totally necessary as the fat adds amazing flavor and texture.
You can refrigerate the broth for several days or freeze for several months. One fun tip is to freeze your broth in ice cube trays so that you have lovely broth cubes to cook with any time for extra nourishment – add to any sautéed or stove top dish or when preparing soups.
Another great opportuity to RESET NATURALLY.
Peace!
