For the Base

Cooking Steps
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Spread the bones on a baking sheet and roast them for about 30 minutes, or until they are beautifully browned.
- Combine the roasted bones, apple cider vinegar, and the rest of the aromatics in a pressure cooker or slow cooker. Add enough cold water to cover the ingredients fully.
- Cook in the pressure cooker on high for 3 hours (or 4 if using beef or pork bones), or in the slow cooker on low for 24-48 hours.
- Check the consistency once the cooking time is up. The bones should be breaking apart.
- Strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean container. Allow it to cool, skim off any excess fat, and store it in airtight containers.
Notes
For a zesty twist, drizzle with a splash of fresh lemon juice right before serving.
