Do you want all the benefits of bone broth without warming up your house in the Spring and Summer months? Use your Instant Pot to make health-boosting bone broth without the added heat!
INGREDIENTS
3-5 lb Saint John’s beef bones
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
3-4 quarts filtered water
METHOD
Place the beef bones, water, and apple cider vinegar in the Instant Pot. Let sit for an hour. This step helps draw the minerals out of the bones.
Apple cider vinegar added to bones and water looks a bit murky.
2. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set valve to Sealing. Select “Meat/Stew” setting and increase to 300 minutes.
3. When the 300 minutes is up, remove the bones with tongs and strain the broth with a fine mesh strainer.
4. Pour the broth into heat-safe containers (I use glass mason jars for ease) and allow to cool before putting in the fridge.

As the bone broth cools, the fat will rise to the top. The bone broth will keep longer in the fridge with the fat plug on top because it protects the broth from air. You can discard the fat plug or use it with your broth for additional nutrition. I always use the fat with the broth because organic, grass fed beef fat is delicious and full of healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
