FROZEN BONE BROTH RECIPES

Steps:

• If you want to roast the bones first, heat the oven to 450ºF. Lay the bones out on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until well browned, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Put the bones (roasted or not) in the pressure cooker pot and add all the remaining ingredients. Cover with 3 to 3 1/2 quarts of water (the water shouldn’t come more than two-thirds of the way up the side of the pot). To make regular stock, cook on high pressure for 1 hour if using all chicken or poultry bones, or 2 hours for beef or pork bones or a combination of poultry and meat. For bone broth, cook on high pressure for 3 hours for poultry bones, and 4 1/2 hours for beef, pork, or mixed bones. When making bone broth, you’ll know you’ve cooked it long enough if all the connective tissue, tendons, and cartilage have dissolved and the bones crumble a bit when you poke at them. If this hasn’t happened, cook it on high pressure for another 30 minutes and check it again.
• Allow the pressure to release naturally. Use the broth or stock right away, or store it in the refrigerator or freezer. Bone broth and regular stock will keep for 5 days refrigerated or up to 6 months frozen.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a large roasting pan, toss bones, carrots, and celery with oil. Roast, shaking the pan halfway through until everything is slightly caramelized, about 30 minutes. Add bones, roasted vegetables, and pan juices to a stock pot along with vinegar, onion, garlic, peppercorns, and herbs. Add enough water to cover everything by least 1”. Cover pot and bring water to boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover with lid slightly ajar, and cook for at least 8 hours. Longer is better! Occasionally stir, skimming off foam on top if necessary.  Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Strain broth over a fine-mesh strainer and discard bones and vegetables. Let cool to room temperature then divide broth between airtight containers.
