This looks delicious! Since I don’t use alcohol, do you think it would work if I increased the water and added a bit of apple cider vinegar for some acid?

I have developed a habit of adding dried medicinal mushrooms to my bone broth. Most often I add shiitake, reishi or other ganederma shelf mushrooms since they are abundant in my woods. This is a terrific immune booster, especially during this Covid winter.

In reply to Susan. You can make this without chicken bones; however, you will also lose out on the medicinal and nutritional benefits that chicken bones bring to the broth. And, no, you don't need to rehydrate the mushrooms.

Can you make this without chicken bones for vegetarians? And do you need to rehydrate the dried mushrooms before roasting them?

If you have a pressure canner, you can can the broth. (Low acid foods must be pressure canned... And no, an instant pot is not the same thing as a pressure canner). I can fit either 7 quarts or 19 pints into my pressure canner (you can double stack jars in taller canners).
Ball canning jar company has a great website. (Or, join a church and ask the older ladies to teach you to can; you will get advice and free supplies, love and knowledge.) If you get a used canner, take it to your local 4H office for testing - ours has a week every summer for free testing and also has commonly needed parts available to purchase at that time.
