Equipment

  • stock pot or dutch oven
  • fine mesh sieve

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 lbs beef knuckle bones
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • water to cover bones

Instructions

  • Place bones in a stock-pot or dutch oven. Add apple cider vinegar. Then pour water on top until just covering the bones.
  • Bring to a boil on medium-high heat, then immediately bring to a simmer by reducing heat to medium-low. Optionally, remove the “scum” that rises to the top once boiling. This step is optional, because “scum” is really just denatured congealed protein that is harmless and edible, but will contribute to a more cloudy-looking broth. So, the choice is yours!
  • Cover with a lid, and simmer for 8 hours.
  • Remove from heat, and strain into a heat-safe bowl using a fine mesh strainer. Allow the broth to cool slightly.
  • Transfer to mason jars, cover tightly with a lid, and store in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
