Simple Nourishing Broth

This is a Traditional broth recipe that packed full of minerals.

This broth can be used as a base for stews, soups or stirfries. I often bake my fish in the stock, or use it as the liquid to cook rice (its delicious!).

Quite often in Winter, I love to start my morning with 'Brothy' - Just a straight cup of broth OR, I add some beautiful herbs to make it my nourishing Cuddle Cup.

I make this broth as a BIG batch, and freeze it in smaller jars.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

• Place bones on a baking a tray, sprinkle with salt to aid draw out ‘goodness’, bake bones for around 10-15 minutes, or until just very lightly cooked. (This step may be skipped, by I find it adds more flavour).

• Remove bones from heat. Place bones and vegetables into a slow cooker and fill with water. Add apple cider vinegar.

• Cover and leave for 24 – 48 hours – add herbs when almost finished.

• When complete, allow to cool.

• Drain liquid away from bones and vegetables, bottle in glass jars and allow to cool in the fridge before freezing or using.

• This broth can then be used as a base for soups, to cook in stir-fries or drank alone.

Note - Before Freezing, separate into jars and place in the fridge, allow for a layer of fat to harden at the surface, scrape it off and discard it before using
