- 3 medium carrots, chopped
- 3 medium celery stalks, chopped
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 7 garlic cloves, smashed
- 3½ pounds beef bones
- Kosher salt, to taste
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- Water
Place vegetables and bones in a 6-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt, and add vinegar. (Vinegar draws minerals out of the bones.) Add enough water to cover everything.
Program slow cooker on low for 18–24 hours.
Pour broth through a cheesecloth or strainer; discard any solids.
When broth cools, it forms into a gel, so you just need to heat before serving. Broth will store in the fridge for a few days, or in the freezer for several months.
