Place the cover on the slow cooker and turn it to high for one hour, then reduce it to low and cook for 10-12 hours, or until the liquid reduces by about half.

Strain, reserving the liquid, and discard the bones. Use immediately or let cool slightly before placing in glass jars. It will keep in the fridge for about 3 days.

If you notice gelatin forming on your broth in the refrigerator, that’s because of the collagen in the broth. It will become liquid when reheated. Soooo good for you.
