  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Water
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 medium carrots, scrubbed and cut in half
  • 1 medium parsnip, scrubbed and cut into large chunks (may substitute more carrots, if desired)

Instruction

  • Place bones, vegetables, peppercorns, herbs, and vinegar into the pot of the Instant Pot.
  • Add enough water to just cover the bones and vegetables in the pot, about 3/4 full.
  • Wipe rim of insert dry with a towel. Place lid on Instant Pot and lock into place.
  • Flip vent valve to ‘Sealing’.
  • Select ‘Manual’ or High-Pressure setting and adjust the cooking time to 120 minutes.
  • Optional: to ensure a gelatinous bone broth, run the cycle a second time for 120 minutes on low-pressure.
  • When cooking is done, allow pressure to release naturally (10-20 minutes).
  • Release any residual pressure using the vent valve before removing the lid.
  • Allow broth to cool before straining the broth through a mesh lined strainer into jars for storage.
  • Add salt to taste.
