Bone Broth

I read an article about "bone broth" and its nourishing, anti-inflammatory properties and it inspired me to give it a try.

First I bought some beef marrow bones and roasted them for about an hour at 350 degrees.

Then I put them into my crock pot with a few stalks of celery, a chopped onion, a few carrots, 2 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar and 2-3 Tbsp salt.  I added water to fill and let it cook for 2 days.  Yes, 2 days!!!

In the end I had lovely rich broth and vegetables.  I strained all the broth and stored it in jars in my freezer.  I've been drinking a few mugs of this broth every week and I really like it.


Why do this??  Well, according to many sources, here are some benefits of bone broth:

-promotes healthy digestion
-has anti-inflammatory properties
-helps build strong bones

Plus, there is something luxurious about sipping hot, steamy, delicious broth on a cold winter day.  There is a successful business in NYC called "Brodo" that sells cups of rich meat sipping broth to go...at $4.50 for a small cup to $8.50 for a large!  I would love to try it, I bet it's worth every penny.
