SLOW COOKER METHOD
- Put all the ingredients in a slow cooker, cover and cook on low. Chicken bones should take 8-10 hours
- Skim fat while the broth is warm, or skim the fat off the top once refrigerated.
- Cold broth will gel when sufficient gelatin is present. Save the gelatin. It’s way better than taking a collagen supplement!
- Broth can be frozen for months or kept in the fridge for about five days
