Bella’s Jiggly Bone Broth

This specialized bone broth is designed to achieve maximum "jiggle," a sign of high gelatin and collagen content extracted from the connective tissues of oxtail and chicken drumsticks. By combining beef and poultry, you create a complex flavor profile that is as nutrient-dense as it is delicious. Once chilled, this broth transforms into a firm jelly that can be portioned out and easily reheated, providing a quick, restorative boost for gut health and joint support.

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds oxtail
  • 1 to 2 pounds chicken drumsticks
  • Water enough to cover the meat

Instructions
 

  • Place the oxtail pieces and chicken drumsticks into the inner stainless steel pot of an Instant Pot.
  • Pour in just enough water to fully cover the meat. If you prefer a larger quantity of broth, you may add additional water, ensuring you stay below the maximum fill line.
  • Secure the lid and set the steam release valve to the sealing position. Select the Pressure Cook or Manual setting and set the timer for 50 minutes on high pressure.
  • Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally. Carefully remove the lid and use a slotted spoon to remove the meat from the liquid.
  • Pour the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass storage container. Place the container in the refrigerator to chill overnight until the broth reaches a firm, jiggly, gelatinous consistency.
  • To serve, scoop out the desired amount of gelatin and reheat it gently in a small saucepan over low heat until it returns to a hot liquid form. The broth can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 6 months.
