Bone Broth

I guess that will all of the stress that has been going on with me lately. I was bound to get sick. So today I headed over to Whole Foods and bought some bones (beef bones, yes they sell them at Whole Foods so ask the Butcher). As soon as I got home I rinsed the bones and threw them into my good old handy crockpot. Here's the recipe:

• 2-3 lbs of bones (you can use chicken, beef, whatever you like)
• about 7 pieces of garlic (if you like garlic feel free to add more)
• 1 carrot, peeled and chopped into pieces
• 2 pieces of celery, chopped into pieces
• 1 onion, chopped into pieces
• 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar

I didn't stir the ingredients. I just added everything in and set it to low temperature and let the food do it's thing for the next 8 hours. I'll admit that I opened it every now and them to smell all the goodness.

After 8 hours, I turned off the heat and let it cool down for about 30 minutes. 30 minutes later I came back and strained the broth into a container. I had a cup of my good ol' bone broth but to be honest I didn't like the "fat" layer that I was tasting. My suggestion: let it cool down in the container and put it in the fridge overnight. In the morning that fat layer will appear white on top and just scrap it off.

Some of you may be wondering why I don't post pictures but I promise I will start trying to now. I'm really messy when I cook. Messy cook + klutz = broken camera waiting to happen.
