Homemade Beef Stock! Oh My!!

Ok, if you have looked at my blog you know I love to can. I found these at Kroger's the other day. I was so excited! I could finally make beef stock!




What I did was put the shank in the oven on a cookie sheet at 350 degrees until it was brown. I rinsed the bones off and put them in the crockpot. When the shank was brown I added it to the crockpot.
 



I then  put in some scraps of onions peals, celery and carrots that I had froze for stock. I poured about 1/4 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar on the bones and shank and let it sit for about an hour.



 


 Then, I filled the crockpot up with water and put it on low and cooked it for 24 hours. Then you just strain it and the liquid left is your beef stock. You can freeze it. I am going to can mine. Will post how to do that another day. Tomorrow I will post about my meal plan and prepping! Till tomorrow hope everyone has a great day!!
