Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • Bones from a whole chicken or turkey
  • 1-2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 quarts filtered water

Instructions

  • First add the bones to the liner of the instant pot.
  • Add water. Water can be room temperature and for best results should be filtered.
  • Pour in the apple cider vinegar and salt.
  • Optionally, you can add other herbs, spices, and vegetable scraps for an ever more flavorful broth.
  • Place the lid on the instant pot and set it to seal.
  • Press the soup/broth button until it is on high.
  • Adjust the time to 4-6 hours with the keep warm function on.
  • After the timer is up, let the pressure release naturally.
  • Once the pressure is released, unplug the instant pot and remove the liner.
  • Pour the broth into a 1/2 gallon mason jar with a funnel and mesh strainer over it to catch any small bones. Place a lid on the jar.
  • Allow the broth to cool and store in the fridge for up to 7-10 days.

Notes

If you want to freeze your broth, let it cool completely and make sure you only fill the jar 3/4 the way up to prevent cracking the jar after it freezes.
Freeze your broth for up to 3 months.
