Description
Simple recipe for making homemade, collagen-rich bone broth gummy treats for your dog.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups beef or chicken bones (marrow bones preferred)
- 1 gallon water
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup unflavored gelatin powder
Instructions
- Place bones and water in a large stockpot. Add apple cider vinegar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce heat to low.
- Simmer slowly for 24 to 48 hours, skimming any foam that rises to the top occasionally. Add more water if the liquid level drops significantly.
- Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the bones and solids. You should have about 6 to 8 cups of broth.
- Pour 4 cups of the strained broth into a separate saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface of the cold broth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- Heat the broth and gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring gently until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
- Pour the liquid into silicone molds shaped like bones or small squares.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Remove the gummies from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For a poultry broth, use chicken feet or backs for higher collagen content.
- If you want a stronger flavor, roast the bones before simmering.
- These treats are best kept refrigerated and should be consumed within two weeks.
