Notes
Classic bone broths are made with onion, carrot, celery, rosemary, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, garlic, salt and pepper. Add what you like.
*Use a mixture of meaty bones, marrow bones, and knucklebones. Tails and feet are nice too – they will add lots of collagen and gelatin to the broth!
**Roasting is optional. The purpose is mostly to affect flavor although some argue that it allows more minerals to go into the broth. To make the recipe ultra fool-proof, just put fresh bones in a pot and move on to step 2.

Bone broth is easy to make and cheaper than buying it in the grocery store with all the added ingredients you don’t want. Drink the broth as snack or incorporate into your favorite stews, green chili pork, or favorite soups.
You can do this with chicken and turkey bones too, with Thanksgiving coming up use the carcass, giblets and neck bone in the same recipe.
Using mason jars makes this recipe a win for elimination of waste to the landfill.
Isn’t the point of carnivore to eliminate plant foods? Why does every bone broth recipe have vegetables in it? I am new to this way of eating and am already confused.
You can use veg if your doing keto of dirty carnivore. If your just carnivore just use bones and water.
