BEEF OR LAMB BONE BROTH
4-5 pounds of bone marrow and knucklebones 1 teaspoon dried peppercorns, crushed
3 pounds of meaty ribs or neck bones Bouquet garni (tie together using cooking twine)
1 calf’s foot, if available, cut into pieces (optional) • fresh bay leaf
4 or more quarts of purified water • fresh thyme
2 teaspoons Celtic sea salt • fresh rosemary
4 ounces raw apple cider vinegar • fresh sage
Assortment of vegetables, as desired Parsley, to be added in the last 10 minutes of cooking
• 1-2 medium yellow onions
• 2-4 carrots
• 3-4 celery stalks

Place the bones, meat and joints into a large pot. You may roast the meaty bones in a pan in an oven at 350°F for extra
flavor. Place these in the pot. Add remaining ingredients, except for parsley. Fill pot with purified water. Allow the pot and
its contents to stand for 60 minutes, giving the raw apple cider vinegar time to draw minerals out of the bones. Bring to a
boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer; remove scum that has risen to the surface and cook for 3 to 4 hours. Remove the meat
and reserve for soup. Continue to simmer for a total of 48 to 72 hours. Add parsley during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Once broth has cooled, pour into containers for refrigerating or freezing. Glass is ideal for storing food. If freezing in glass,
be sure to leave two inches of air space between the top of the liquid and the lid. When defrosting frozen stock do not run
hot water over frozen glass.
