December 24, 2016

Ingredients

  • 3-4 Ib stewing hen, 1-2 chicken carcasses, or 3-4 lbs of chicken necks, backs and wings
  • filtered water
  • chicken feet
  • apple cider vinegar
  • celery (coarsely chopped)
  • Carrots (coarsely chopped)
  • onion (quartered)
  • fresh parsley
  • to taste

Instructions

  1. -Put the chicken or carcasses in a pot with 4 quarts of water; add the chicken feet and the vinegar. Let it sit for 30 minutes to give the vinegar time to leach the minerals out of the bones.

    -Add the vegetables and turn on the heat.

    -Bring to a boil and skim the scum.

    -Reduce to barely a simmer, cover, and cook for 6 to 24 hours.

    -During the last 10 minutes of cooking, throw in a handful of fresh parsley for added flavor and minerals.

    -Let the broth cool, strain it, and take any remaining meat off the bones to use in future cooking.

    -Add sea salt to taste and drink the broth as is or store it in the fridge (up to 5 to 7 days), or freezer (up to 6 months) for use in soups and stews.
