TIPS:
Bone broth can be frozen and used later instead of water to make grains, soups and stews. Keeps in the freezer for up to 6 months.
I like to cook the broth all day for one day then place in a cool spot (garage/bucket of ice/refrigerator) over night then cook it for another day.
Directions
1Place all ingredients in large soup pot, cover with water. Bring to a boil and let simmer
2Chicken/Turkey/Fish 20 Hours
3Beef 24 – 72 Hours
4Pour in glass jars. If you plan on freezing, leave at least a couple of inches at the top to avoid glass expanding and breaking.
5Use as a base for soups, stews, sauces, gravies - so delicious and super nutritious.

- Amino acids such as glycine, proline and arginine all have anti-inflammatory effects
