Chicken Bone Broth in A Slow Cooker

Heather's OWN Recipe!


Servings: makes 10-12 cups
Ingredients:
2-3 roasted chicken carcasses (approx. 2 lbs. of bones); include any leftover skin or pan drippings
1 or 2 medium onions, unpeeled & quartered
1 head of garlic, unpeeled, cut in half crosswise
2 celery ribs, cut in 1 to 2 inch pieces
2 carrots, cut in 1 to 2 inch pieces
5 sprigs of fresh thyme
5 sprigs of fresh parsley
1 bay leaf
1-1/2 teaspoons peppercorns
2 tablespoons cider vinegar (1 tablespoon per pound of bones)
2 to 2-1/2 quarts water (enough to immerse above ingredients)
NOTE: This is a salt-free broth. Add salt to taste, as desired.


Directions:
Add all of the ingredients to a 6 quart (or larger) slow cooker. * Cook on low for 12 hours (or more). While still hot, use tongs or slotted spoon to remove large pieces from broth. Then pour through a wire mesh strainer to remove the remaining solid bits. 
For a FAT-FREE broth, pour broth into a large bowl or container, cover, and refrigerate overnight or until completely chilled. Scrape the hardened fat from the top and discard.
FREEZE IT. Broth can be refrigerated for 4 to 5 days. For extended storage, it should be frozen. It's convenient to freeze it in 1 or 2 cup portions for easy use in recipes.


USES: This broth can be used in any soups, gravies, or any recipes calling for chicken broth. It also can be drunk as is for a healthy supplement to your diet.
