Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Begin by combining the bones, meat, onion, carrots, and celery in a large pot. Pour in enough cold water to cover the ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and the broth is rich and flavorful.
2
Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pot, discarding the solids. Bring the broth to a boil over high heat and then reduce the heat to low. Stir in the gelatin and let it dissolve completely.
3
Remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Pour the mixture into small cups or glasses and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
