BONE BROTH CHOLESTEROL RECIPES

Steps:

• Place bones into a large stockpot or slow cooker and cover with water.
• Add apple cider vinegar to water prior to cooking. This helps pull out important nutrients from the bones.
• You can also add in sea salt, peppercorns, vegetables — such as onions, garlic, carrots and celery — and herbs like parsley and thyme for added nutrient value.
• Fill stockpot or slow cooker with filtered water to cover. Leave room for water to boil.
• Heat slowly. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer for at least six hours. Remove any scum as it arises.
• Cook slow and at low heat. Chicken bones can cook for 24 hours. Beef bones can cook for 48 hours. A low and slow cook time is necessary in order to fully extract the nutrients in and around the bone.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Discard solids and strain remainder in a bowl through a colander.
• Let stock cool to room temperature, cover and chill.

Steps:

• If your chicken feet still have an outer membrane, you’ll need to remove it. In a stock pot, add chicken feet and apple cider vinegar, and fill with water until feet are covered. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Strain and blanch the feet in cold water, allow to cool, then pull off the membranes.
• Add the chicken feet to a stock pot.
• Add filtered water until the feet are covered and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to a simmer and skim off any scum that rises to the top with a spoon.
• Add the ginger, rosemary and salt. Allow to simmer on low heat for 12 or more hours.
• Remove bone broth from the heat and allow to cool. Strain the liquid into glass jars and serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator.
