Crockpot – Bone Broth – Gut Healing

Enjoy this rich, gut healing bone broth recipe. The taste is impeccable and the contents ultra nourishing. You never though making it yourself could be so easy.

Homemade Bone Broth – What inspired me to make it from home.

What inspired me to make this bone broth was my love for nutrition, gut health and my overall well-being. I had heard a lot about bone broth and its healing properties. Some cultures would call it ‘____________’. This obviously describes its importance very well. I had tried some store bought – which I will get into below – and was not satisfied with the taste and consistency. None at all what I had read about. So, I was gifted this slow-cooker and I saved bones from my organic, pasture chickens and made bone broth. I have never had a bone broth as rich and flavorful as mine.

Store bought or Homemade?

I had been intrigued by bone broth for many years. Is it just a trend? The first bone broth I bought, and thought was decent at the time, was the trader joes bag brand. Decently coagulated and an ok taste. But when I did my research on store bought bone broth I was astounded. Did you know that companies can label broth ‘bone broth’ even if the bones only are in for about an hour. That is nowhere near long enough to get any type of benefits from the bones. In order for all of the nutrients to reap from the bones, it needs to slow cook for 24-48 hours. So, beware of store bought. Unless you know and have researched the brand.

Health Benefits of bone broth

Rich in Nutrients: Packed with vitamins and minerals, including calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, all of which support bone health and overall bodily functions.
Supports Joint Health: It contains collagen and gelatin, which provide amino acids like glycine and proline. These help maintain the health of joints, tendons, and ligaments, potentially reducing joint pain and inflammation.
Gut Health: The gelatin also helps repair the intestinal lining, which can improve digestion and support a healthy gut..
Promotes Healthy Skin, Hair, and Nails: The collagen in bone broth supports skin elasticity, making it great for skin health. It can also strengthen hair and nails.
Supports Detoxification: The amino acids in bone broth, such as glycine, assist the liver in detoxifying harmful substances, promoting overall detoxification in the body.

The Recipe:

Ingredients:

• Full gallon bag of chicken bones or beef bones
• 4 Carrots snapped in half/ cut up
• 1 Yellow onion cut in 4ths
• 3-5 Celery sticks cut in half
• 4 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
• Enough water to fill the crockpot
• 4 Cloves of garlic
• 2-4 Sprigs of rosemary

Method:

1. In your crockpot/slow-cooker add the bones that you have been saving, followed by the celery and onions.

2. Time to add the garlic.

3. Next we will add the Apple Cider Vinegar and good salt – I use REAL SALT – you can get it at whole foods. I put about a palm-ish full. As pictured above.

4. Now you are going to add the water. Then place the lid on your crockpot and set it to ‘Low’ for 24 to 48 hours. Mine only does 20 at a time. I cooked it for a total of 48 hours. But 24 is good too.

5. After the 24 or 48 hours it should look something like this.

6. You will need a ladle and strainer to scoop out the broth and strain it through into a bowl.

7. The next I would do, unless you are going to use it right away, is pour the broth into ice trays and freeze them. After they are frozen you can put them in a freezer safe bag and store the cubs for up to 3 months or so. They are good in the fridge for up to 4 days in a sterilized glass jar – as pictured below.
8. Now you are done!! I love to enjoy my bone broth in my soups, other recipes or just in the morning to break my fast.

I hope you enjoyed this recipe.
