Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings: 2 quarts
Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • about 6 cups chicken bones including neck and feet if possible
  • 2-3 cups vegetable scraps including but not limited to onion, celery and carrot
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1-2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • about 8 or more cups filtered water enough to cover bones and vegetables

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large pot, Instant Pot or slow cooker. Cover with filtered water.
  2. In a slow cooker, cook on low for 12-24 hours. In a pot, cook over high heat until simmering, then cover and reduce heat to low. In an Instant Pot, lock lid and set valve to "sealing". Choose "manual" and set time for 180 minutes. Allow to depressurize naturally.
  3. Strain out vegetables and bones using a fine mesh sieve.
  4. Pour into quart sized mason jars. Store in fridge for 4-5 days, or freeze for 6 months (leave 2 inches at top of jars if freezing).
