I'm just a Registered Nurse navigating my way through life with celiac disease. My young son also has celiac & I also have Interstitial Cystitis (IC). I post on a wide variety of topics: gluten free, natural/alternative medicine, autoimmune disorders, travel/RVing, homeschooling, Jesus, cooking/baking, reading, guitar, banjo, the list goes on & on!! I wear more hats in life these days than I ever have before & blogging helps me keep my sanity in the midst of it all!

Another Way to Make Bone Broth!!
This is an addendum to my original post on bone broth, which can be found here
Y'all know how much I love bone broth!!
I have always made it in my slow cooker, but I recently decided to try it out in my pressure cooker. While making it in the slow cooker is usually convenient--I either start early in the morning or late at night to accommodate that 12 hours of cooking--there are times when it's a hassle for me. So I decided to try it out in my pressure cooker.
Now my large slow cooker is 6 quarts. And my large pressure cooker is 8 quarts. So I found I'm able to make even more broth in my pressure cooker than I can in my slow cooker--that's an added bonus! But of course that will vary depending on what size YOUR slow cooker & pressure cooker might be. (I actually have 2 of each--my slow cookers are 3 quart & 6 quart & my pressure cookers are 4 quart & 8 quart)
*Place the chicken bones/parts, water, & vinegar in the pressure cooker & let it sit for about 30 minutes.
*Add the rest of the ingredients, with the exception of the parsley.
*Seal it up & heat over high heat until it comes up to pressure.
*Cook for 60-90 minutes, depending on how strong you like your bone broth.
*Turn it off & let the pressure drop down.
*Open, add the parsley, close it up, let it sit for 30 minutes.
*Then strain & store.
One added benefit I found--in addition to being able to make MORE broth--was that I found the fat rose to the top of the jars of broth when I placed them in the refrigerator. So then I was able to easily remove the fat (you can save it & use it for cooking if you like). When I've made broth in my slow cooker I've never seen the fat separate from the rest of the broth.
