Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork bones (preferably from lean cuts like loin or tenderloin)
• 2 medium carrots
• 3 stalks celery stalks
• 1 large onion
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 bunch fresh parsley
• 12 cups water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Spread the pork bones on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden brown.

Step 3

While the bones are roasting, peel and chop the carrots and onion into large chunks. Chop the celery into large pieces as well.

Step 4

In a large stockpot, add the roasted pork bones, chopped vegetables, garlic cloves, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and apple cider vinegar.

Step 5

Pour in the water, ensuring the mixture is well covered. Bring to a gentle boil over high heat.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer, partially covered, for 8 to 12 hours. Check occasionally and add a little more water if necessary to keep the bones submerged.

Step 7

About 30 minutes before the broth is finished, add the fresh parsley to the pot.

Step 8

After simmering, remove the stockpot from the heat. Use a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to strain the liquid into a large bowl, discarding the solids.

Step 9

Add salt to the broth, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.

Step 10

Let the broth cool, then transfer it to airtight containers and refrigerate. Skim off any solidified fat from the top before using.

Step 11

Enjoy your heart-healthy pork bone broth as a nourishing drink or as a base for soups and stews.
