I'm still working on making freezer space. On today's list was to start clearing out the two extremely large bags of pork bones from our last butchering of hogs. I filled my large stock pot a little over half full with frozen bones. To them I added carrots, celery, garlic, black pepper and 1/3 c apple cider vinegar. I covered the bones completely with water, brought them to a boil and then turned them to the lowest setting on my stove. I will let them cook for at least 24 hours.
The broth has been simmering about 6 hours now and is starting to smell delicious! It looks like I have enough bones for at least 2 more batches, if not 3. Once this is done I will skim the fat and can it. After I have sipped on a cup or two!
