Why Bone Broth is SO Good for You!

Beef bone broth isn’t just comforting — it’s packed with nutrients. Slow-simmered bones release collagen, gelatin, and amino acids, supporting gut health, joints, skin, and immunity. Minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus are also extracted, giving you a rich, nutrient-dense stock in every spoonful. Using organic beef bones from Tresemple Farm ensures your broth is made from high-quality, sustainably raised, organic meat.

Ingredients:

• 2–3 lbs (1–1.5 kg) organic beef bones (marrow or joint bones are ideal)
• 1 large onion, quartered
• 2 carrots, roughly chopped
• 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, smashed
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tsp black peppercorns
• 1–2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (helps extract minerals)
• Optional: fresh herbs (thyme, parsley)

4–5 litres cold water
 
Instructions:

1. Roast the Bones (Optional but highly recommended)
2. Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
   Spread bones on a roasting tray and roast for 30–40 minutes until browned. This deepens the flavour of your broth.
3. Combine ingredients in a stockpot or slow cooker. Add the roasted bones, vegetables, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and apple cider vinegar.
   Pour in cold water until bones are fully submerged.
4. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer.
   Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
   Simmer for 12–24 hours (longer for richer, more gelatinous broth).
   If using a slow cooker, set to low for 12–24 hours.
5. Remove bones and vegetables using a slotted spoon.
   Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container.

Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
The fat will rise to the top as it cools — you can skim it off or leave it for extra richness.
 
Serving Suggestions:
Sip warm on its own as a nourishing drink.
Use as a base for soups, stews, risottos, or gravies.
Add fresh herbs, noodles, or vegetables for a hearty, wholesome meal.
