Here is the recipe:

First of all, the bones are best cooked for 24 hours or more! Some

people cook for less time, it will still be healthy. Also, an

amendment, I use a tiny bit of apple cider vinegar, but if this is

problemic for you, better to use distilled white vinegar, or juice

of a lemon. The bones I crack with my bare hands after many cooking

hours, usually for chickens or turkeys, but for bigger bones, get

them sawed open by a butcher to get some of the marrow out.

>>>

I have been using bone broths for years, absolutely amazing

healthfood.

First, I only use the bones from truly free range animals,

preferably organic,

but definitely free range. Bones from weak animals sitting in cages

their whole

lives are not that strong and accumulate lead and other contaminates.

I take these bones and put them in a stockpot. I cover with just

enough water,

add about 1/4 cup apple cidar vinegar, bring to a boil, then gently

simmer for a

number of hours. You don't want to use too much apple cidar vinegar,

because

then you will taste it in the final broth or soup. 1/4 cup seems to

be tasteless

for the final product when I cook. The purpose of the vinegar, it

softens the

bones.

Then, I remove the stockpot from the heat. I remove the bones and

let cool a

tiny bit, then I crack them open. I take one of those scraper

utensils that

comes with a basic nutcracker at the grocery store, and scrape out

all the

marrow. I return broken bones and marrow back to the cooking water,

and simmer

on low heat for many more hours, at least 4, but preferably more.

This soup

takes me a whole day to make.

I then strain out all bone and marrow bits. This is the basic

bone broth. Then

I add whatever stock I have one hand to it, cooking and/or medicenal

herbs,

veggies, whatever you want to make a soup/broth you will eat/drink.

Low heat is

really key, with a long cooking time. I have found this to be an

excellent way

of getting good ratios of bone matrix building minerals into my

body.<<<
