Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken bone broth (unsalted, homemade or store-bought)
- 4 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder (optional, for anti-inflammatory benefits)
Instructions
- Warm the Broth: Pour the chicken bone broth into a saucepan and heat over low to medium heat until warm but not boiling, approximately 150°F (65°C). This helps activate the gelatin without destroying nutrients.
- Dissolve Gelatin: Slowly sprinkle the unflavored gelatin into the warm broth while whisking continuously. Continue whisking until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Turmeric: Stir in the optional turmeric powder at this stage if using, ensuring it is evenly incorporated to offer anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Pour into Molds: Transfer the mixture into silicone molds or a shallow dish to form gummies or jelly-like squares.
- Refrigerate: Place the molds or dish in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, or until the gummies have set firmly.
- Remove and Store: Pop the gummies out of the molds or cut the jelly into squares. Store the treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 3 months for longer storage.
Notes
- Always use unsalted chicken bone broth without any onions or garlic, as these ingredients can be harmful to dogs.
- Do not overheat the broth to preserve its nutritional content; keep the temperature below boiling.
- Refrigerate gummies to maintain freshness and texture.
- Freeze treats if you want to keep them fresh for more than a week.
- Gelatin strengthens digestive lining, and turmeric may help reduce inflammation, making these treats especially beneficial for older or arthritic dogs.
