Instant Pot Bone Broth Recipe
The Instant Pot Bone Broth Recipe uses bones, water, apple cider vinegar, fresh herbs, and vegetables cooked under high pressure to extract rich flavors and nutrients. It produces a deeply flavored broth suitable for soups, stews, or sipping straight. The pressure cooking shortens the traditional long simmer time while preserving depth.
