Ingredients

4 quarts water

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 large onions, unpeeled and coarsely chopped

2 carrots, scrubbed and coarsely chopped

3 celery stalks, coarsely chopped

1 bunch fresh parsley

2-3 garlic cloves, lightly smashed

2-4 lbs. meat or poultry bones

Preparation

Place all ingredients in a large slow cooker set on high. Bring to a boil, then reduce the setting to low for 12-24 hours. The longer it cooks, the better it tastes! Strain the stock through a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter into a large bowl, and discard the waste. If you don’t have a slow-cooker you can still reproduce this recipe on a stovetop, with a large pot on low heat.
