Notes

You can make this recipe on the stove but it will take way longer and currently this is not for me. If you prefer to do it stove top follow the directions using a normal pot and simmer on low for 8-10 hours. Some people even go up to 48 hours!
Some people like roasting the bones and meat in the oven first on a baking sheet, I find that the sauté option in the pressure cooker is quicker.
The foam, also called scum, can sometimes give the soup an off smell depending on the bones. So it is better to take it out.
Vinegar extracts minerals from the bones, but the bones needs to cool down in the water with the vinegar that’s why we leave it there for 30 minutes to cool off.
Bacteria grows very fast on broth so we need to cool it quickly. That’s why I have put mine in a bigger bowl with cold water.
After leaving the broth in the fridge overnight it is better to take off the fat layer at the top.
Storage:
- Store your broth in portions ( 1-2 cups according to your needs) in the freezer for 3 months.
- If you are going to store the broth in glass jars, make sure not to fill them to the brim though so they won't break.
- You can also store the broth in ice cube trays.
