Instant Pot Bone Broth Recipe
Description
This recipe starts optionally by roasting bones at 450°F for 20 minutes to deepen flavor. Bones are placed in the Instant Pot with water, apple cider vinegar, diced onion, bay leaves, thyme sprigs, and diced celery. The pressure cooker is sealed and cooked on high pressure anywhere from 1 to 4 hours depending on the type of bones used: 1 hour for whole chicken with meat and skin, 2 hours for beef or pork bones with meat, or 4 hours for bones only.
After natural pressure release, bones are removed, and salt and black pepper are added to taste. The broth is strained into jars and cooled before refrigeration or immediate use. The acid helps break down mineral and collagen content, resulting in a flavorful, gelatinous broth.
This broth provides a nourishing base and highlights the collagen from various bones and aromatics used, suitable for multiple culinary uses that call for rich stock.
