Bone Broth

To make bone broth all you need is a large pot (or slow cooker) water, vinegar and bones. In order to make the most nutritious broth, it’s best to use a variety of bones — marrow bones, oxtail, knuckles and feet. However nothing beats good old chicken broth. Find your assortment at your local butcher or farmers market. Look for pasture-raised, grass-fed and sustainably sourced bones since these animals have been raised naturally.
Vinegar is a very important ingredient because it helps extract all the valuable nutrients from the bones.

Simply do the following 7 steps:

This recipe looks like a lot of work but only takes 20 minutes to prep. Sauté your onions and celery, brown your ground beef right afterwards, open your cans, rinse and drain, measure your spices and literally toss it all into your slow cooker – set on low and go!
