Bone Broth in the Instant Pot or Crock Pot




Ingredients

  • 2-3 pounds meaty bones
  • 8 cups water
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp Himalayan Pink or Real Salt
  • 1 scoop powdered gelatin/1 cup cold water*

Instructions

Instant Pot

    1. In the Instant Pot, place the bones, apple cider vinegar and salt.
    2. Fill pot with about 8 cups of water but do not exceed the max fill line.
    3. Close lid and turn knob to sealing, set to cook on manual setting for 2 hours. When time is up, let the pressure release naturally.
    4. Strain broth through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl.
    5. Store in fridge for several hours or overnight.
    6. Once chilled, the broth should be jiggly and have a layer of fat on top. Scrape off the fat if desired.
    7. Spoon into containers for freezing. and transfer to jars for storing in the fridge or freezer.
    8. If it doesn't gel, you can still drink it, it is still full of nutrients!

    *To add gelatin:

    • Sprinkle two scoops of powdered gelatin, one scoop at a time, into 1 cup of cold water, and mix well.  This is important!  Adding the gelatin directly to the hot liquid broth can cause it to clump up and not distribute evenly. Let it sit for a few minutes and it will thicken.Note: if you’re adjusting the amount of water in this recipe, use about one scoop of gelatin per 16 ounces of broth. Since we’re using 2 quarts in this recipe (64 ounces), we’re using 4 scoops.
    • Add the thickened gelatin to the broth and mix well.  It will re-liquify into the hot broth.  Upon cooling in the fridge it will then thicken.

    Slow Cooker/Crock Pot

      1. In your slow cooker or crockpot, place the bones, apple cider vinegar and salt.
      2. Fill pot with 8 cups of water or until it covers the bones by about an inch.
      3. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 12.
      4. Strain broth through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl.
      5. Store in fridge for several hours or overnight.
      6. Once chilled, the broth should be jiggly and have a layer of fat on top. Scrape off the fat if desired.
      7. Spoon into containers for freezing.
