Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the pork bones under cold water to remove any impurities.

Step 2

In a large stockpot, place the cleaned pork bones and cover with cold water.

Step 3

Add the apple cider vinegar to the pot and let the bones soak for 30 minutes. This helps draw out nutrients.

Step 4

Meanwhile, wash and roughly chop the carrots, celery, and onion. Peel and smash the garlic cloves.

Step 5

After 30 minutes of soaking, add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, black peppercorns, bay leaves, and sea salt to the pot.

Step 6

Cover the pot and bring it to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer gently. Skim off any foam or fat that rises to the surface with a spoon in the first hour of cooking.

Step 8

Allow the broth to simmer for at least 12 hours to extract maximum flavor and nutrients.

Step 9

After simmering, turn off the heat and let the broth cool slightly.

Step 10

Using a slotted spoon, remove the larger solids from the broth and discard them.

Step 11

Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or another pot to remove smaller bits and impurities.

Step 12

If desired, adjust the seasoning by adding more sea salt to taste.

Step 13

Once completely cool, pour the broth into glass jars or airtight containers and refrigerate. The fat will rise to the top and solidify; it can be removed and discarded or stirred back in for added richness.

Step 14

The broth can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
