SLOW COOKER CHICKEN BONE BROTH

This slow-cooked bone broth uses roasted bones and unpeeled veggies, which produces a much deeper flavor and darker color. For a lighter-colored broth, omit the roasting step and use peeled veggies. The longer this simmers, the richer it gets, however don't go longer than 48 hours as the flavor can turn bitter. Make sure about half your bones are collagen-rich, such as chicken backs, feet, or wings. Season with additional salt, if desired, upon serving.

Tips:

- For a richer flavor, use a variety of bones, such as beef, chicken, pork, or lamb. - Roast the bones before cooking them in the slow cooker. This will help to develop their flavor. - Add vegetables and herbs to the slow cooker along with the bones. This will help to create a more flavorful broth. - Simmer the broth for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours. The longer the broth simmers, the more flavorful it will be. - Strain the broth before using it. This will remove any bones or vegetable pieces. - Store the broth in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
