Ingredients:

• 4 lb. beef bones with marrow ( I highly recommend roasting the bones; adding a little tomato paste before roasting adds a great flavor and color to your bone broth)

• 4 carrots (chopped)

• 4 celery stalks (chopped)

• 2 medium onions (peel on, sliced in half lengthwise and quartered; vegetable scraps works well also. Just save some in the freezer in a bag or container)

• 4 garlic cloves (peel on and smashed)

• 1 tsp kosher salt

• 1 tsp whole peppercorns (fresh ground pepper is fine if you don't have whole peppercorn)

• 2 bay leaves

• 3 sprigs fresh thyme

• 5-6 sprigs parsley (may use dried herbs or spices, I always add a little turmeric and ginger to my broth)

• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

• 18-20 cups cold water (no need to measure; just make sure your bones are completely covered)

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a 10 quart capacity crock-pot. Add in water.

2. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce and simmer gently, skimming the fat that rises to the surface occasionally.

3. Simmer for 24-48 hours.

4. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

5. Discard solids and strain remainder in a bowl through a colander. Let stock cool to room temperature, cover and chill.

6. Use within a week or freeze up to 3 months.
