Bone Broth Recipe – Crockpot – Slow Cooker

Bone Broth Recipe made to perfection

Crockpot – Bone Broth – Gut Healing

Enjoy this rich, gut-healing bone broth recipe. The taste is impeccable and the contents ultra nourishing. You never thought 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 overall well-being. I had heard a lot about bone broth and its healing properties. I had tried some store-bought – which I will get into below – and was not satisfied with the taste and consistency. 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.
With all that to stay let’s move on to my links and where you can find me (more below).

I am now an Amazon affiliate, so I want to disclose that I do have links to products I use in case you guys are curious! Now, here’s the part where I drop all my links to my socials for you. Appreciate you!

Guy’s, I just finally started a substack. That’s where I send out my weekly email from! I love it over there because I get to write authentically and get more in-depth about wellness outside the usual email. Here’s the link if you’re not already subscribed!

The first stop is always IG. IG is my stomping grounds, I am there most often to talk on my stories and respond to DMs and comments. So, if you ever want to get in touch with me, my DMs are a great place to go!

Pinterest is the best place to save these recipes. You can put them in a folder and keep it all organized!

The final spot where big things are happening… YouTube. I am starting long form content on there and will be doing tutorials on cooking. Super excited about this and would love to see you over there.

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 Joe’s bag brand. It is decently coagulated and has 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 are only 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 be reaped 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.

Things you may need:

  • The Crockpot – Honestly, this is the best crockpot ever. It was gifted to me by a friend, but I cannot say enough how much I love it. It is a bit expensive but worth it.
    I will link it here, incase you want to get one or give it as a gift. It’s a 10/10.
  • A strainer – You need one that is very fine so it catches everything. You don’t want chunks in your bone broth.
  • Ice Cube Trays – You need these so you can freeze and store the broth properly. Here’s some good ones.

The Recipe:

vegetables and chicken bones that have been slow cooked in a slow cooker

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.
  1. Time to add the garlic.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. After the 24 or 48 hours it should look something like this.
  1. You will need a ladle and strainer to scoop out the broth and strain it through into a bowl.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.

    Thank you for this! I am curious how long it takes you to gather the bones? Is there a way we can collect bones quicker if we are not big meat eaters?

    • Brittany Piscatella says:

      Hi Tara!!
      First, so sorry for the delay. I was on my honeymoon and just got back!!
      So happy you loved this. And to be honest we eat a lot of chicken thighs, bone in and I save the bones mostly from there.
      It does take sometime to accumulate enough.
      If you live close to an authentic, quality butcher, I would ask there. If I did I would ask them. I have heard of others doing this!
      Hope this helped!!

    • ChyAnn says:

      Hi! If you live have a Middle Eastern or Desi market/grocer near you, they usually have bags of bones to buy or will cut fresh meat daily. Many people use the bones for their many dishes. So it’s an easy place to gather them from!
