Simple Bone Broth Gelatin (Gel,
Jelly) Recipe
You will Need
- A large stainless steel pot or crock pot/slow cooker
- Filtered water
- Bones (see below)
Recipe
Use bones without meat or bones that
have a small amount of meat remaining on the bone.
Place 1 lbs, up to 2 lbs of bones in
a pot or slow cooker – use bones from pasture raised, grass fed animals. CAFO
raised animal bones do not contain sufficient collagen to support gelling, and
the resulting gel will be nutrient poor.
To ensure sufficient gelatin include
some chicken necks, heads, chicken feet, or fish heads – these are high in
collagen which helps to create nutrient rich, healing gelatin.
Add only enough water to just cover
the bones – the level of water may reduce during the cooking process- you can
top-up the water to just cover the bones.
Add 1 tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar.
Allow the bones to sit in the water
/apple cider vinegar mixture for 20 to 30 minutes prior to heating the pot. If
the ambient air is very warm only allow unheated pot to sit for 20 minutes.
Cook at a low heat for a minimum of
12 to 24 hours.
Cooking process is complete when some if not
all bones turn to mush when pressed between your fingers. If cooking
beef bones the total cooking time may extend to 72 hours.
When cooking is finished, strain the
bone broth, allow to cool a little, and then pour into glass containers or wide
mouth glass bottles, and refrigerate. Your bone broth gelatin can be stored in
the refrigerator for a week or two. You can also freeze your bone broth gelatin
in ice cube trays and give as a treat on a warm day. You can also freeze in
glass containers and take out to defrost when needed.
