I have been canning for years and years,, warms my heart to see the younger generation canning... keep up the good work

Something new I'm trying this year is to dehydrate the bones, after making the broth. Chicken bones dehydrate quickly; ham and beef bones take longer. Once dehydrated, smash/ break them up into small pieces and sprinkle that bone meal into your garden to fertilize. Some people use a mortar and pestle, or food processor, or just a hammer. Just break it up into small pieces.

I've canned my whole life...starting around age 6 with my grandma. So 60 years and way back we didn't call it bone broth. We just called it broth...or stock. Might I suggest a technique for saving the fat you skim off of these sorts of broths. When you skim fat off cold or not...there always is a bit of broth that comes with it. And pouring it off after fat is solid leaves risk of souring. This is fine if your going to be using that fat relatively fast...but I learned long time ago that if you take that fat and boil it on stove top...till the residual broth/moisture has evaporated...the strained fat can then be put into container to solidify without risking the issue of souring from the small amts of broth. Done this way...you can even keep fat at room temp for a while (my grandma didn't use a refrigerator for her fats)...but I always put in frig or freezer since I'm not cooking for tons of men and kids. I always trim off fat from pork or chicken even in small amounts and boil it till fat is rendered then I boil till it starts to sizzle and looks like oil. Best seasoning other than bacon fat to get kids to eat home canned green beans and lambsquarter.

Agreed! Canning is Year round! Love the simplicity of this recipe. It’s a great base for French onion soup, too!

The left over beef scraps would make excellent dog food. I do huge batches where I cook the beef until soft then mix it with veg and rice, form it into balls and freeze it. Every day I just take out a ball and my dog has homemade food that I control the ingredients.

If u dont want to use an energy intensive oven then u can brown any meat on the top of the stove in your oil or butter of choice in a fry pan @Acre Homestead fans. The electric pans are best for bone broth because it doesnt require constant supervision like a stove. 10-12 hours is recommended to get the collagen out into the broth but I make broth in 2 hrs in a stock pot or lobster pot on the stove sometimes if I start later in the day. I make large quantities of broth every weekend because all my family, 4 dogs and cat get it daily

Sometimes when I feel the blues drinking homemade broth makes me feel better. Takes me back to my mom and my grandma true comfort!! 🌸🌼🌸

You can also smoke your beef bones in a smoker. Gives it another wonderful level of flavor. That's the only way I'll do it now! I always use my roaster for broth as I always make large batches! It's a game changer!

If one doesn't have a pressure canner, they can still make bone or chicken broth etc and put it in the freezer until they can afford a canner. Even though I have a pressure canner, I still like to keep a few ball/mason jars or freezer tupperwares of broth in the freezer. Same for Italian sauces or salsas, enchilada sauce etc.

I began yesterday and prepared two batches of beef bone broth to pressure can tomorrow. When I turned the bones, I added the halved onions to brown, too. I used a mixture of marrow and cartilage bones. The meatless marrow bones weren’t placed in the oven as my recipe called for soaking the marrow bones in water with added ac vinegar whilst the other bones were browning. That water was then used in the second stage of simmering over both types of the bones. I remembered the last time I prepared bone broth (and the drips down cabinets and onto the floor) so used clean dish cloths under everything I was pouring into. 😁 When removing the bones this afternoon, they looked like they still had some life left so dumped half into the instant pot (twice) with new aromatics/seasoning for 2 hours each on low pressure. Got an extra six quarts of delicious beef stock! The broth has gelled nicely in the fridge and the stock is a gorgeous dark brown and yummy. I’m Presto pressure canning it all tomorrow. Stock in quarts. Broth in pints. Selection of both in jelly jars. House smells soooooo good. And isn’t it lovely having ready-to-go canned broth and stock on hand! My family is psychologically averse to chicken/beef broth as a health drink, but luuuuv my quick gravy, savory rice and chillies. 🤫😆.

If you're a new canner or just unsure, I highly recommend Rose Red Homestead here on YT, as well.

I make bone broth every week, I've never canned it because I'm terrified of pressure canning and I haven't had the headspace to get over that and learn how. But I have my routine, I cook my whole chicken on Wednesday or Thursday and after shredding the chicken I add the bones and skin straight to my slow cooker and let them cook on low for 24-48 hours. We have a brothy soup for lunch every Sunday and eat the leftovers for several days.

Becky You have no idea how much joy and comfort your videos are giving me! I’m so excited for this video I really want to start pressure canning

Becky you are absolutely the best and I’m 70 years old looooove every video of yours ♥️♥️♥️

I was gifted a 23 qt pressure canner at Christmas and I've been making everything I can. Today is Mongolian beef. Love your videos.

You can add ice cubes to the broth and the fat will harden and stick to the ice so you can spoon it out.

I use my Turkey stock in my stuffing and always get compliments and I know it’s the stock that makes the difference.

Hi Becky! Great video! You're teaching this 68 yr old lady a thing or two!! 🙂 I love all your videos and learn something almost every time I watch! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us sweet girl!! 🥰

I just made beef bone broth and canned it. I have made and canned broth before, just never bone broth. I had it on for almost 48hrs, and it was so cool to see the bones become kind of brittle. Now I have some turkey bones on to do the same thing. A friend saved hers from christmas and gave them to me.

The color looks so dark and rich! French Onion soup would be amazing with that broth and your garden onions.

I think I want to start saving my vegetable scraps and do something like this. I live in a small apartment with not much counter space, but I think I can do a crock pot overnight and I can definitely fit a pressure canner on my stove. Thank you for the education :)

Thanks, Becky! Great info and editing - So informative! And also - another benefit of the home-canned broth is NOT having to deal with the evil triple-layer NON-recyclable box that most of the store-bought broth comes in.

I'm still a student and very transient, so I can't do much gardening or food preservation yet, but I've been learning a lot and started fermenting (vegetables, yogurt, and sometimes kombucha), making bone broth (with frozen veggie scraps!), and making sourdough over the past year and some change. Channels like yours are a HUGE encouragement!

A carrot pickling video would be super fun!!!!! 😁

Ha! I came to KZfaq to search homemade bone broth but didn't even have to search it, there you were making bone broth! Thank you Becky!

I also can year 'round. Every sale I find on any meat, I stock up. I will roast 2-3 meats and assorted veggies at one time to optimize oven usage. Always make bone broth...use it to pressure can the meat itself, then some of the veg...and some broth on its own. The broths are so good, not only for soups, stews, cooking beans, but also for cooking rice, pasta and mashed potatoes.

Canning cranberry sauce and apple pie filling today

The first time I made bone broth I skipped this step and went directly into the water. I wish I had done this first and I will next time. Thanks for sharing Becky. I learn from watching your channel.

Thank you for sharing the Maillard reaction and umami flavor that was so very interesting!

I get happy when Becky shows us how to do something SO beneficial. Stuff like this makes me so so happy.

I never thought to cook my broth in an electric roasting pan!! This is great because I can put everything in and walk away (like a crockpot) and come back a day later. Which saves me time and I don't have to stay close to my stove to monitor the broth!! Thanks for the tip! Love your channel 😁

Here is a tip Becky…when straining your broth use your metal strainer to scoop into another strainer over a bowl. ☺️

Oh Becky THANK YOU for being such a great teacher and explaining very well and simple for beginners to understand and not be scared of trying it!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Ps your doing such a great job with your channel! Keep up the beautiful work!!

My Presto Precise Digital Pressure Canner came today and I'm here re-watching all of your canning videos so that I can get started. You have certainly inspired my friend and me to work just a little harder to have less food waste! She does the water bath, so I'll be the pressure!

I put off pressure canning for years too. I finally did it and my first project was chicken broth. I was so scared lol. I was afraid that the pressure would go to low and I'd have to start the timing over so me and my husband took turns babysitting it because I made a mistake and processed for 90 minutes! Now it's much better

When I put herbs and spices in with my bone broth to cook I use a big tea ball to keep the spices in because sometimes I like to keep the onions and carrots and turning into a soup right quick rather than discard them

Yay! Seeing your notifications make me so happy!!

Congratulations, Becky! Acre Homestead is my new happy place!

When using the fat separator, leave the plug in the spout before you add the broth. It will trap air in the spout and when you add the broth the fat won't go up into the spout (and into your jars).

One of these days I'm going to bite the bullet and get myself the pressure Cannner to try

I'm going to be making ham bone broth later today and then canning it Monday. I always let my broth go for 48 hours. Absolutely LOVE your channel Becky ❤️❤️🙏🙏 Kendra

25 years ago my oldest sister gave me a recipe that used chicken broth. She told me what brand of chicken stock she bought at the grocery insisting I buy that brand. Silence was my reply. When I did speak I told her I didn't buy stock of any kind. "Why not?" she asked. "Because I make stock. I've been making stock since I married in 1977." My sister said, "OOOO Ruthie, you're good. You're really good." I just made stock two days ago. On average I make stock every month. It's not difficult. Prep and put in slow cooker overnight. Presto! Home made delicious stock!

I so love your channel. I love your energy, honesty, explainations and tips. I also love how you jump right in and there's no music and nonsense I'm not interested in. 🤣🙌❤️This broth looks amazing😍

Becky love the videos, how about make a video on making saltine crackers. For some reason in my area can't find a decent box of crackers. I sure would love to see a video on making crackers.

Your energy has inspired me to get moving and cleaning and decluttering my house as well as lots of inspiration for gardening reason. Thank you thank you thank you!!

I love your old videos with titles I can search for particular things. I hope you go back to this format!

My lady you are just priceless, I hope your significant other appreciates what he has.

Well done! I pressure canned beef bone broth for the first time, yesterday 😊 Am really excited for how well it turned out. I’m fairly new to pressure canning, and this was an excellent project to do. Not complicated, or hours of processing time. Highly recommend. Thank you for all that you do and share with us, Becky! You are a gem 💎

Becky you are absolutely wonderful. A woman of all trades. You are absolutely priceless ❤ Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. We seriously are privileged to be able to learn from you. God bless 🙏

I scored 5 canning books at a local thrift store for total $2.00. Hoping to start using my new electric canner a lot. I agree about bone broth. So far I've done a poultry bone broth and beef bone broth. I cooked in crockpot or roaster overnight. Canning does save us in many ways, time & money. Thank you.

Just wanted to say I think you have the best beef bone broth video out although I appreciate everybody else's time and energy put into their videos yours is the most flavorful thank you so much!

Most beautiful bone broth I have ever seen. You just made approximately $170 worth of rich organic bone broth for practically no money. Plus the delicious grass fed beef that was on the bones for other meals. Thank you for showing how I can make fabulous food without breaking the bank. Take care👏👏

Becky, will you be freeze drying some of your beef bone broth? That would free up your canning jars & shelf space too 😊👍❣🙋‍♀️

Great job Becky!!! Thank you for sharing "safe canning practices". Blessings

I just did this yesterday with chicken! I haven't done beef yet. But yes, use those cold days to can. Keeps house warm (smells good too), chill outside to solidify the fat, and you have the base of some amazing meals. Thanks for sharing!

Does anyone else get palpitations when Beckys video is nearly over 🤔.... how long will I wait for the next one?? 🤪 # best medicine ever

I have been LIVING for this consistency you stay workin it's very much appreciated 👏🏽👏🏽

If you want to use your oven longer than 12 hours you should check if your stove has a sabbath mode which allows it to run longer without turning off

My dad used bones like that to make his homemade vegetable beef soup. So good.

I’ve never made beef bone broth. I am loving Canuary!

Love the video. I picked up some beef fat to make tallow as a healthy fat. The butcher keeps the fat scraps for me and I get a great price. Beef = tallow, Pork = lard. Put into slow cooker on low and let render completely down, strain, and pour into jars. Very shelf stable and actually better for you than most “vegetable “ oils. Ghee from butter is another great easy pure fat to do, very easy in Instant Pot. Wonderful recipes on KZfaq for that method. Now, off to butcher for bones, lol. I knew I should have picked up those ham hocks today for ham stock!

I also like to do large batches rather than smaller ones it’s a big time saver

I just cooked up two turkeys that I had in my freezer that we had raised to make room for new meat I picked it all off the bones after cooking it in my big roaster and then proceeded to put all of the bones back into the roaster with the juice on the bottom from the turkeys added more water and all the herbs spices and carrots and onions and celery and cooked it for like 12 hours it turned out very very good and I canned The turkey meat and the broth and I also did maple syrup my husband had been cooking down sap and I had to finish it and get it into jars We like our maple syrup pretty darn dark it’s so yummy

Just started making my way through your videos, so inspiring! Truly like getting advice from a friend. You make things easy to understand, and you break your reasoning down for your home. I really appreciate it! Love that you gave the fire alarm shout out, LOL

We have the same pressure canner! I haven't ever used it because I was nervous and couldn't find anyone with the same one to learn from. SO GLAD you made this video!

It literally just makes my day when I see a new video from Acre Homestead!! Lol 👍🙏🏼💗

I have my grandmother’s canning books that I always use. Love the video.

Lovely how you describe umami. 🥰

Did I miss it? I’m looking for the actual written recipe. Your channel has quickly become my favorite. Thank you for all of your videos.

I have been watching since you started but have only water bath canned. Watched the seed video last night and ordered my Presto 23 quart afterwards. Excited for it to come in.

Congratulations on a very clear explanation of the use of the dial gauge and jiggler combo. I've watched many UTube videos trying to figure out how they work together and your explanation finally made sense to me. Have had the canner for a year and a half but was not understanding how they worked together. I helped my mother canning in the late 1970's but did not have this canner and was so hesitant to try since I didn't understand how to do it. This is my favorite of your many videos. Thanks!

I LOVE bone broth. Yesterday I made a 16 quart pot of Chicken and Dumpling soup. I make a recipe for egg noodles but they are more like dumplings, so I add peas, carrots, celery, corn, green beans. I make my bone broth the day before. Another great video Becky 😊

I love seeing all the different ways we can make bone broth !💕 I always roast my bones, first, too…then when I put them in a pot of boiling water I drain and rinse the pot of bones after 30 minutes then fill pot again and leave for 48 hours, refilling the pot once it reduces, only one time. The result is a clean thicker DARK broth that I don’t have to skim, that is packed with collagen and flavor. I pull out the marrow from the beef marrow bones and salt and pepper it, lathering it on toast as a treat. The meat left behind is saved for many delicious meals or wonderful for making homemade dog food. Since I use the broths for different things, I don’t really season them while making, other than celery, onion and carrots. I’ll season the jar of broth when I use it, according to what I prepare. If I’m drinking it, I’ll add cayenne, salt and pepper while heating. Or season like a pho. When simmering I use basically water and vinegar (acv) or water and wine. Chicken (whole chicken, neck bones and feet) 48 hrs. Ham (ham bones, ham hock) 48 hrs Beef (bone marrow, shank, oxtail, beef ribs) 48 hrs Fish (assorted fish bones and fish heads, sake and acv, ginger and whatever else) fish bone broth needs only 2 hours . The benefit of simmering for 48 hours is that the bones get so soft, it is safe for my dogs to eat. Use your better judgement, on this step. If my bones look like they are hard or would splinter, I definitely would not give but I’ve always had them crumble. Tallow is Gold! I actually use my bones for broth TWICE, before discarding. If we are going to make a broth, I agree, you get a PREMIUM broth product, making it yourself… and we have many other uses. Broth, tallow, meat for meals, using bones twice for broth, and possibly treating your dogs to some soft delicious bones!

I just purchased a fat separator from Amazon and I love it. The broth comes out the bottom and the fat stays on top. It is so much easier than using the one with the spout! It looks like an extra-large measuring cup. The top has a separator that catches any food so it doesn't get in the broth. I just put my cheese cloth ove rmy funnel, squeeze the release and the broth goes in the jars with no mess. I can fill several jars with the amount of broth it holds. Thanks so much for your great tutorial. I used to can and have now retired so back to canning and baking, so I am watching videos to update my knowledge.

I also add washed egg shells for the minerals in the shells plus 1/8th teaspoon vinegar to leach the calcium from the bones and veges.

It blows my mind to see a young lady canning and cooking and making her own ingredients, this is a dying art which we cannot survive without.

You are mezmerizing because you work so hard, but make everything look so easy. Bravo, sweet girl. God Bless. Love you! xxoo

Just made small batch of beef bone broth in my instapot. Now turning it into stew.

Just used the last of my beef broth. Timely for me to do a new batch. Thank you!

Hi Becky, I use almost the same method for my bone broth. I also add a healthy amount of Tumeric to up the powerful punch of Bone Broths health benefits.

I just canned chicken broth for the first time last weekend and that was my first time using a pressure canner. Kind of nervous but made it through it!! We bought half a cow last summer and I’m kicking myself for not asking for the bones now! Love your videos, you remind me of myself in so many ways. Especially the reading on camera or in front of people that’s me to a T thanks for all your great videos!!

Perfect timing. I just started my first batch of bone broth earlier today. You have reassured me that I am going in the right direction. And I am always in awe of your energy in your videos. I can muster up about 10% of what you have on one of my busier days.

Bone broth is so good to have in my pantry. Great recipe.

this is the most complete video on how to make and can bone broth, I'm ready now to pull out all my bones from the freezer and get them done Thank you

Yummo. I made chicken bone broth yesterday and canned it up today. Love having homemade broth on the shelf. Fabulous video 😃

You can use a 4 cup glass measuring cup Pyrex) to dip into your pot to then pour into your strainer.

Love this! I have beef bones in the freezer and was wanting to make broth out of them just want sure how, thanks for the video

Tks for the cool tutorial, and I love the fact that your dogs stands right behind waiting for you mess up!

I thought you should know I have the All American Canner and have been canning on my glass stove for 5 years and have no issues - just in case you want to switch to an All American Canner. I love your videos and have learned so much. Thank you!

Perfect timing...I had gone back and was watching your bone broth video from way way back and got the notification that you uploaded a video. Imagine my surprise when it was about bone broth!! Teeheehee!!! Now back to the video!

I’ve canned chicken broth for years…I’ve done ham broth and even Turkey….I’ve never done beef bone broth I order me some bones from imperfect foods, and just put them in the oven. I plan on letting this cook in my roaster for 24 hours or so before canning. Thanks for the encouragement

I am canning Bone broth also, did it to free up some freezer space, love the flavor it brings to our meals! Thank you

I have been cooking and baking since I was 9 years old. That's 59 years and I love learning new ways of cooking and baking. Thank you Becky. Happy cooking, baking and preserving, Debbie

Have you considered asking your butcher for more bones? It could be possible that some people don't want the bones, and if the butcher is throwing them out you might be able to get them? Just something to consider! Im new here, and I love love love your content! So inspiring!

I've seen you talking about it in a few videos and I was just wondering how I could make lamb broth for my husband, and you came out with this video! this seems so exciting, can I do this for lamb and then I'm gonna make me a vegan broth LW all from my garden scraps! I super appreciate you!

I just want to say that I love your channel and videos. I have been watching more homesteading/preserving/etc. type of videos and so many of them are for large families - but your family unit is the same as mine (me and the hubs) and so your channel has really inspired me to work to become more self sufficient. Our living situation doesn't allow us to have a garden right now, but we are looking to buy a house in the next year or so and my first requirement is some space for a garden and a chicken coup. And you amaze me, as I watch you filming and you're doing like 3-4 final videos at a time. Thank you!!!

Why am I getting emotional seeing her working in the old kitchen? 😊 aww

I love bone broth I makes mine from moose bones when my husband goes hunting, love love your videos

I can not wait until my girls start laying more, so I can make pasta. They are still on their winter vacation, lol. I’ve been excited to try it ever since you posted that video!

Thank you so much for making this video! I have been canning for years but have never tried pressure canning, partially because I've just been a little too nervous to do it. Watching you do it made a lot more sense out of the Endless instructions I've read over the years.
