Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork bones
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 medium celery stalks
• 1 large onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 10 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the pork bones on a baking sheet and roast for 30-45 minutes until they are browned, turning halfway through for even browning.

Step 2

While the bones are roasting, roughly chop the carrots, celery, and onion. Peel the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Once the bones are roasted, transfer them to a large stockpot. Add the apple cider vinegar and cover with cold water, ensuring the water level is about 1-2 inches above the bones. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes to help extract minerals from the bones.

Step 4

Add the chopped vegetables, garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and sea salt to the pot.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to a simmer. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during the first hour of simmering.

Step 6

Cover the pot partially with a lid and let it simmer gently for 10-12 hours. The longer you simmer, the richer and more flavorful the broth will be. Check occasionally, adding more water if necessary to keep the bones covered.

Step 7

After simmering, strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl. Discard the solids. For a clearer broth, you can strain it again through a cheesecloth.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.

Step 9

Allow the broth to cool, then refrigerate. A layer of fat may solidify on the top; you can remove this before reheating or store it with the broth for added flavor.

Step 10

Serve the broth warm, or use it as a base for other soups or stews. The broth will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months.
