Instructions
- Place the Calf’s Feet in a large pot and cover with the Water.
- Add the Onion, Carrots, Celery stalks, Bay leaves, and Black peppercorns to the pot.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 4-5 hours, or until the calf’s feet are very tender and the meat is falling off the bone.
- Remove the calf’s feet from the pot and allow to cool slightly. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids.
- Once the calf’s feet are cool enough to handle, pick the meat from the bones and discard the bones. Shred or chop the meat.
- Return the meat to the strained broth. Add the Vinegar and Salt.
- Bring the mixture back to a simmer and cook for another 30 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into a jelly mold or individual ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
