Notes
- As pig trotters are high in collagen fat, you can get an incredibly rich and gelatinous broth from them.
- Besides pork bones or pig trotters, you can also opt for chicken bones, beef bones, and various other vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, leek, etc.
- If you want to freeze the broth, make sure to leave about 2 inches of head space in the container.
- You can roast the bones and vegetables before using them to cook the broth.
