Ingredients

  • Place chopped vegetables, roasted bones, bay leaf and cider vinegar and place in your slow cooker. Cover completely with water and set your slow cooker to low.
  • Simmer for 24 hours. Throughout simmering, add water as needed to keep all the ingredients submerged.
  • Once the broth has reached a dark rich brown color, turn off slow cooker.
  • Discard the bones, vegetables and bay leaf and strain through a cheesecloth. Cool the broth to room temperature.
  • Pour into jars and let cool in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • When you are ready to serve, skim the condensed fat off the top of the broth and heat to the desired temperature. Sip in a cup or add to your favorite recipe.
