How long to cook bones for borscht?
Reading time – 2 minutes.
The time of boiling the bones for broth for borscht depends on the type of meat, the age of the animal, and also on the size of the bones. Large bones take longer to cook, so it is recommended to grind them whenever possible. In addition, too large bones will protrude from the water, which should not be allowed – they must be completely covered with water. Boil pork and veal on the bone for 2 hours from the moment the water boils. Chicken or turkey for broth is cooked quickly enough, in just 1 hour. Beef with bone is cooked the longest – for full readiness and getting a rich broth, it needs to be cooked from 3 to 5 hours.
