Leentje's Bone Broth

For years we have eaten bone soup every day -  now in our 80s we still enjoy a healthy active life without the use of any medications or hospital interventions etc.
Its only now that dieticians have scientific proof of all the health benefits of bone broth- and advise bone soup for the cure of many common ailments -  But for truly healthy bone soup you need bones from healthy and young grass fed stock. Younger bones have more collagen.

Ingredients

  • Beef or Lamb Bones Marrow bones are best
  • 1 Tbsp Cider vinegar or Wine vinegar
  • Salt and Peppercorns to taste
  • 1 Onion
  • Celery or other vegetables whatever is available

Instructions

  • Place enough bones in large pot so you can easily cover them with water.
  • Add Table spoon of cider or wine vinegar and some peppercorns and salt to taste.
  • Heat slowly on low heat - leave several hours on low heat just simmering or even below boiling point - good on the back of the wood stove!
  • Remove from heat and leave overnight to cool
  • Leave layer of fat undisturbed,until you want to reheat the broth . Skim off most of the fat, but leave some for flavour as this bone fat also contains special healing properties especially for healing leaky gut and soothing damaged intestines
  • Heat, adding chopped onion, celery and any other spare veges on hand -  even left overs from the day before will enrich your soup
  • The bones and any leftover broth can be kept for the next day. Add more vegetables and a little water if required for another delicious soup!
