    So simple. I’ve never made broth in the slow cooker, but you have inspired me to do so!

    Hmm – now you’ve got me thinking about homemade matzo ball soup. I know it isn’t Paleo… but it sure is good. 🙂

    This is very similar to the method I use – the only real difference in mine is that I also add parsley stalks (there is more flavour in the stalks of parsley than in the leaves).

    And once I strain out the bones, I store the broth and put the bones straight back in the slow cooker with more veggies, water and vinegar and get a second (all be it less tasty, but just as mineral rich) batch.

    I have managed to get 3 batches out of a chicken on occasion before the bones were so soft that they were falling apart. The flavour gets progressively less the more you cook it, but it still jells, so I must still be extracting some goodness from those bones. And the fact the bones are going soft and crumbly must mean that I am extracting all the minerals out of them.

      That’s an awesome tip! I usually compost it after one cycle but I’ll try that the next time I make broth. In the past, I’ve left the broth simmering for longer than 8 hours and it’s too strong for my tastes, even watered down. Your tip completely fixes this problem!

    What type/brand of glass jar are you using to freeze the broth in? I’ve had no luck freezing liquids in my ball mason jars. They keep cracking on me 🙁

      I use wide mouth Ball. I’ve found that when I leave a large gap at least 2″ from the top and don’t tighten the lid all the way down, my pint jars don’t’ crack. I tighten the lids after they are frozen solid.
