The Benefits of Bone Broth

It is also easy to digest and full of vitamins and minerals, making it an ideal choice for those with sensitive stomachs.

The collagen in bone broth can help improve joint health and reduce inflammation. It is also known to boost your immune system and aid in digestion. Bone broth is also incredibly versatile, making it easy to incorporate into a wide variety of dishes. Whether you’re making soups, stews, sauces, or marinades, bone broth is sure to add flavor and nutrients to any dish.

The Difference Between Stock and Broth

When it comes to making soups, stews and other dishes, the terms “stock” and “broth” are often used interchangeably. While they are similar, there is an important difference between the two.

Stock is made by simmering bones and vegetables in water for several hours. The resulting liquid is rich and flavorful. It is a key ingredient in many recipes and can be used as a base for sauces, gravies and soups.

Broth is also made with bones, but usually with meat as well. Broth is simmered for a much shorter period of time than stock, which gives it a lighter flavour and texture. It is often consumed on its own or as a base for soup.

The main difference between the two is that stock is made from bones only, whereas broth is made from both bones and meat. Stock has a more intense flavour and is typically used as a base for soups, gravies and sauces, while broth has a lighter flavor and is usually served on its own.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start by gathering your ingredients: grass-fed organic British beef bones, onions, celery, carrots, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and apple cider vinegar.

2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).

3. Place the beef bones on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 30 minutes.

4. After the 30 minutes, remove the bones from the oven and place them in a large pot.

5. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the bones.

6. Add the onion, celery, carrot, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns to the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat.

7. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 24 hours, skimming off any foam or fat that rises to the top.

8. After 24 hours, remove the pot from the heat and strain the broth into a large bowl.

9. Discard the bones and vegetables.

10. Pour the strained broth back into the pot and add the apple cider vinegar.

11. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, then remove from heat and allow to cool before transferring to airtight containers for storage. To make free range chicken broth, begin by roasting free range chicken carcasses in the oven at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes. Then transfer the chicken carcasses to a stockpot filled with cold filtered water and add carrots, celery, garlic, and herbs such as thyme, rosemary, and oregano. Allow the mixture to come to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and gently simmer for 4-6 hours. Skim off any impurities that form at the top of the pot. Strain out the solids and discard them before pouring the resulting liquid into jars. Let cool completely before storing in the refrigerator or freezer.

Tips for Making the Perfect Beef Broth

1. Use high quality bones. When making beef broth, it’s important to use grass-fed organic beef bones. This will ensure the most flavorful and nutritious broth.

2. Slow cook. For optimal flavor, cook the bones for at least 24 hours on low heat.

3. Add fresh vegetables. To add more flavor and nutrition, consider adding fresh vegetables like onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and tomatoes to your broth.

4. Spice it up. Adding herbs and spices can take your beef broth to the next level. Popular additions include bay leaves, peppercorns, parsley, thyme, and oregano.

5. Strain carefully. When straining your broth, be sure to do it slowly and carefully so that you don’t lose any of the flavorful liquid.

6. Enjoy! Once your beef broth is finished, you can enjoy it as-is or use it as a base for soups and stews. You can also freeze it for later use.
