How do you make bone broth?

What do you need for approximately 2 liters of bone broth:

• 1 kg Cartilage-containing bones and/or marrow-containing bones. On our website we have various (organic) bones, for example duck back pieces, chicken back pieces, or duck walking feet. Click here for all bones
• Optional: Dash of apple cider vinegar
• A soup pot
• Optional: add vegetables after the stock has cooled

And then, how do you make bone broth?

• Place the bones in the stockpot.
• Fill the pan, just as you would make a stock, about 4cm above the bones
• Add a dash of (apple) vinegar, this helps to extract the minerals from the bone (optional)
• Bring it just to the boil, stir if necessary. foam off
• Then let it steep/simmer for at least 3-4 hours. So DO NOT cook !
• Reduce it slightly at the end (so turn it up a bit, but carefully)
• Let it cool on the stove. When it is cool enough, place it in the refrigerator overnight, scraping off any fat from the stock.
• Strain out the bones. If the soup is jelly-like, place it gently over the heat until the jelly melts. Then strain out the bones.
• Freeze it in containers. You can also put some of it in containers (for smaller dogs) and some of it in ice cubes. When the cubes are gone, you can defrost a container and freeze it again in ice cubes.
