Tips:

If you are using this broth for a fast, ensure you have removed as much meat
and fat from the bones as best you can. Those added calories can prevent you from
getting the full benefits of your fast.

The longer you let this broth simmer, the more marrow you will get from the bones.

If you wanted to, you can put everything in a crockpot on low for 8-12 hours.
Or if you have a woodstove, you can leave the pot on all day to simmer. Just be sure to check it occasionally to ensure there's still enough water to cover the bones.
