Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot (I have the larger version, and it can make about 1 gallon of broth).
  • A stockpot, or large soup kettle.
  • Fine mesh strainer
  • Container to store your bone broth in. I use 2 half-gallon mason jars (or multiple smaller mason jars).

Ingredients

  • Bones from 1-2 whole chickens or a mix of various kinds of bones.
  • 8-16 cups of filtered water.
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar.

Instructions

  • Place your bones in the Instant Pot container
  • Drizzle the 3 tbsp of apple cider vinegar over the bones.
  • Apple cider vinegar will help draw out all the wonderful nutrients from the bones to give us that gelatin consistency we are looking for!
  • Fill the container with the filtered water until the bones are just nearly completely covered.
  • I like to cover mine until a few bones are stil poking out over the top of the water line.
  • Put the lid on the Instant Pot, make sure it's locked and secure.
  • Set the value setting to "sealing."
  • Set the Instant Pot to the Soup/Broth function for 2 hours on low pressure.
  • Repeat this time interval three more times for a total of 6 hours.
  • When your bone broth is ready to be strained, take your stock pot and pour all the containts into the stock pot.
  • Next, take your fine strainer, and place it on top of the containers you are storing your broth in.
  • Carefully pour the broth into mason jars (or container).
  • Allow to sit on the counter for an hour or two before putting in the refrigerator.
  • Done!
