do you make it yourself? (Share recipe)
How often do you drink?
What's the nutritional info (Cals etc?)
We have a meat market here so I can get all kinds, what's your fav?

I drink bone broth from broth I make myself. I usually use left over chicken bones that I freeze until I have enough to make a decent batch of broth. I boil the bones with a splash of apple cider vinegar and will usually throw in some oregeno and rosemary and of course a lot of salt. I will boil it for about 12 hours before I cool it and pour it through a stainer. I try to always have it in the fridge. I usually drink a travel mug of it for breakfast, along with coffee. I have no idea what the nutritional info is. I love it daily, if I don't run out.

That's what I was thinking about doing, how many chickens (bone only) will I need to make enough for the week?0

I make and drink bone broth made from any bones on hand. I save all bones from chicken in one freezer bag, and save beef and pork bones in another bag. When I have one large bag full, I know I have enough to make one large soup pot of broth. This sometimes means the bones of 2 whole chickens, just depends on the size of the chicken. I save necks, feet etc too. I get bones from my farmers which are raw, as well as other animal parts for free, and I save every bone from everything I cook. I've probably got 3-4 bags of bones ready to go right now. I tend to drink less in the summer. One large pot will be enough for me per week. I will freeze about half of what I make in jars, so that it keeps better, and I always have broth ready when I need it. A turkey will be good for 2 pots of broth.
I start with cold fresh water to cover my bones, throw a little apple cider vinegar in there and boil for about 4 hours, then I throw in an onion and celery and cook another 4 hours, topping up with fresh cold water then bringing back to the boil. I strain everything out at the end. I never salt my broth until I use it. And that's it.
I will make broth out of anything, any poultry, meat or fish. I made black bear broth on Monday!0 -
seriously!?! black bear ??????? wow! How does the taste compare to other broths? Fascinating. And where do you live to get bear bones?0

I live in Manitoba, Canada. My hairdresser shot a black bear about 3 weeks ago and gave me a couple of roasts, all of the ribs ends, then sawed up the rest of the spine with ribs into 3 pieces for me to make soup. He trimmed the rest of the meat off for himself and gave me the bones since he won't use them. I traded 6 jars of my homemade pickles, some homemade soap, a couple of kitchen towels I made and a spaghetti squash I grew for the bear meat and bones. Something out of nothing..... Just like bone broth !
The bear broth tasted good, lighter tasting than beef broth. I added salt and a bit of tamari to it when I drank it, will finish it off tonight.0 -
Sounds as if you a Martha Stewart of the North! I'm impressed!!0

I just found and bought some at one of my "local" (30 min. drive each way - ugh!) health stores today (finally)!! I plan on trying it this coming week. One thing I'm already not happy about is that it doesn't have any fat in it at all!
I guess I'mm just have to add some to it. I don't make my own at this time but I may try to make my own at some point in the future. Here is a link to several different bone broth recipes (i.e. chicken, beef fish):

I got some beef bone today and some hammocks I know hocks have a ton of fat so might make it out of both and eat the hocks!!0

I've never tried bear. How is it?0 -
I've only had bear meat once, a couple of years ago when my chiropractor gave me some that he hunted. I cooked a bear steak and a beef steak side-by-side, and we had a taste test. The meat is darker red than beef, much denser and very flavourful, like the best steak you've ever had. The meat was harder to chew. I should have marinated it first. Maybe next weekend or so I will cook a bear roast, marinate it first, then cook it in the slowcooker with some bear broth.0

I save up chicken bones and carcasses (a mix of raw and cooked) in the freezer. When I have enough I throw them in the crock pot, add some onion, celery, and carrot, cover with water, add salt, pepper, and thyme, and cook on low overnight. In the morning I strain it and divide into jars to put in the freezer. We are purchasing a pig this year and I'm going to try my hand at pork broth (and lard! Yay! Who knew, our mailman has a farm, lol). I never thought to put vinegar in it. What is the purpose of that, may I ask?0
-
The vinegar helps draw out the minerals, calcium, magnesium and potassium...out of the bones and into your broth.0
-
From what I have heard just a small amount of apple cider vinegar (tbs) will draw all the healthy stuff out of bones to where they are very brittle and crumble.0

Coincidentally, I too am Canadian (Ontario), and we've got bear "pepperettes" in our refrigerator as we speak.
One of my husband's coworkers is Native Canadian and can hunt anything anywhere. He also brought in goose jerky.0 -
I use fresh or frozen oxtail and any other bones I have in the freezer, some apple cider vinegar (pulls out nutrients as well as the gelatin/collagen). I also throw in an onion chopped in half, a few carrots and parsnip, smashed garlic cloves, and salt and pepper. I use a pressure cooker on high for 2 hours.
Its hard to get nutritional info on broth because you strain out all the calories, but I see it listed at about 30 per cup (3g fat, 2 g protein).0 -
Hi All, How long would the chicken broth keep in the fridge for? I am very cautious of salmonella when it comes to anything chicken0
-
I boil my beef marrow bones for 24 - 36 hours. I will start having some of the broth after 6 hours, but if you want all the calcium from the bones, you have to boil them a long time. Then I scrape the inside of the bones into my broth. I freeze the extra.0

It freezes beautifully though

Because of this thread I am now keeping my bones (it's terrible to think of what I have thrown away! Ugh!)!!!!! I haven't tried it before due to an aversion to broth, but I believe I'm ready for the benefits! Thank you for this thread!

Nice! My view of what constitutes food has expanded, yet somehow going back to our roots.... Eating what is available from our surroundings.
I'm going to marinate a bear roast and cook it this weekend!0 -

Glad it's helped ya and I feel the same way for all the bones I just threw out! I have been drinking it in place of my breakfast (easier to heat up a coffee cup of broth than a skillet for eggs lol). And also for late night (or anytime) snack if I get to wanting something low cal and good for me. It's very filling!!!!!0 -
Thanks @ettaterrell! As soon as I have enough bones, I will be cooking! Anxious to see if there are any extra benefits for me, though I'm sure there must be! Hugs!0
