  Bone broth is a protein source that is already broken down into important amino acids. This is important for people with issues breaking down protein into usable amino acid components. These amino acids, such as glycine, proline and glutamine, help to regenerate cartilage and heal joints and protect the gut lining, just to name a few important functions.   

Ingredients

-Chicken necks and feet (or bones)

-Water to cover

-3-4 tbsp apple cider vinegar (adding ACV to the water helps to bring the minerals out of the bones)

-Sea Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper 

-1 Bay Leave 

-3 garlic cloves

-Vegetables such as onions, carrots and celery  

Directions

-Place bones into a large stock pot and cover with water.

-Add two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to water prior to cooking. This helps to pull out important nutrients from the bones.

Fill stock pot with filtered water.  Leave plenty of room for water to boil.

-Heat slowly. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer for at least six hours.  Remove scum as it arises.

-Cook at low heat. Chicken bones can cook for up to 24 hours. A low and slow cook time is necessary in order to fully extract the nutrients in and around bone.

- After cooking, the broth will cool and a layer of fat will harden on top.  This layer protects the broth beneath.  Discard this layer only when you are about to eat the broth.
