Ingredients

• 3 pounds pork bones
• 12 cups water
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 celery stalks
• 1 large onion
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 1 small bunch parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the pork bones on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 2

Roast the bones in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even browning.

Step 3

While the bones are roasting, peel and roughly chop the carrots and onion. Chop the celery stalks and peel the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Once the bones are done roasting, transfer them to a large stockpot. Add the chopped vegetables, bay leaf, apple cider vinegar, and whole black peppercorns to the pot.

Step 5

Pour the water over the ingredients in the pot, ensuring that they are fully submerged. If needed, you can add a little more water.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer uncovered for 5-6 hours.

Step 7

Skim off any foam or fat that rises to the top of the pot during cooking to keep the broth clear and low in fat.

Step 8

In the last hour of cooking, add the small bunch of parsley to the pot for added flavor.

Step 9

After 5-6 hours, remove the pot from heat and allow the broth to cool slightly. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another pot or large bowl, discarding the solids.

Step 10

Season the strained broth with salt, adjusting to taste.

Step 11

Refrigerate the broth until well chilled, then remove any solidified fat from the surface to ensure it remains low-fat.

Step 12

Store the broth in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
