My favorite way to utilize our deer harvest each year is to cook up a batch of bone broth. I’ll use the broth in future recipes to add a nutrient dense boost to any meal, and it’s so easy to make. You’ll need a 5-quart crock pot or stock pot for this recipe. Enjoy!

Ingredients
venison leg bones, cut in half
1 large white onion quartered
3 celery stalks cut into thirds
Preparation
- Place bones, onion, and celery in crock pot, fill with water.
- Cook on LOW for 16 hours (if your crock pot doesn’t allow for more than 12 hours, set timer to make sure you reset it for another four 4 hours).
- Strain liquid into another pot or bowl.
- Ladle broth into three 32 oz mason jars and close with lids. Let sit on the counter until mostly cool.
- Refrigerate until ready to use. If freezing, fill jars with several inches of headspace to avoid expansion and cracking of jars.

Sounds easy enough! Sounds great!
Great use of all parts of the deer- usually people just discard the bones!
