The winter days have been cold and comforting. It is as if winter is wrapping us all in a snowy cocoon. When there is snow on the ground and the temperatures are cold it is my favorite time of the season, as it reminds me of winter walks, snowshoeing, skiing and just looking outside the window brings me joy and happiness everything looks like a winter paradise.
Bone broth is an amazing way to bring in warmth, comfort and joy into your home. My favorite activity during winter is going on a hunt for the best bones that farmers in Ohio can offer. We are so blessed as a region to have so many farmers to choose from, and there are many types of animals that you can choose.
Chicken bones are delicate and small and can create a flavorful quick broth in 20 minutes or less. Pork bones creates a savory, fatty broth that takes 30 minutes up to an hour to simmer to for the fullest flavor. Beef bones take the longest, I would recommend that you simmer for 2 hours or more to get the full effect. While you are simmering your bone broth there will be frothy white bubbles that will come up make sure to skim to create a robust clear broth.
Bone broth adds a lot of health benefits and comfort during the winter season, especially during cold and flu season. I have a video session on Mother Earth News site for you to learn more about all the ways you can create your own flavorful bone broth.
