What are the best bones for bone broth?The best bones for bone broth are:
- Beef knuckle and marrow bones.
- Chicken feet, wings, drumsticks, necks; an animal slaughtered in the name of Allah. We do not use carcasses.
You can also do a mixture of different animals, which is delicious! The perfect recipe calls for a mix of bones.
Instructions
- Roast Bones on stoves to remove any hair on the hooves, also this process of simmering bones makes flesh remove bones, and leaches out collagen easily.
- Add bones and scrape brown bits from the roasting pan into a large pot or Dutch oven (Note: This can also be done in Crock-Pot*, Instant Pot or slow cooker).
- Add water until bones are covered (try 12 cups).
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to a rolling simmer. You need a high temperature.
- Skim foamy bits and impurities that bubble up to the surface. Skim 2-3 times as needed over the first 1.5 hours.
- Simmer broth for 12-24 hours. Place lid on top but leave slightly ajar (1-2 inches). Beef needs 20-24, chicken can simmer for just 12 hours.
- Add vegetables and herbs for the last three hours of simmer time.
- When simmer time is done, remove solids (bones and vegetables) from your pot using spider strainer.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer / sieve
- Transfer jars / containers to the fridge to cool.
- Remove fat cap from your jars if desired. It works great for cooking.
- For Crock-Pot / slow cooker: cook on low or high setting, depending on your model. It should be visibly bubbling/simmering the whole time but not boiling. You can leave lid on or slightly ajar. Add water if needed.
- For Instant Pot: Close lid and turn knob to seal. Set to cook on low pressure for 3 hours for chicken or 4 hours for beef. When time is up, let the pressure release on it’s own.
- Bone Broth recipe may gelatinize when refrigerated. Congrats! This is due to the high collagen/gelatin content in your bone broth -- a hallmark of any quality bone broth. It will turn to liquid when heated up.
- Storage: bone broth can be refrigerated for 5 days or frozen for one year.
- Save freezer space: you can reduce your bone broth further to save space. Boil the finished broth in a pot until it reduces to your desired volume, 15-30 minutes.
