We raise our own pigs here on our homestead, and butchering day means a fresh stock with bones that need to be roasted specifically for stock. On the rare occasion that I’ve bought bones for stock, I do go out of my way to make sure that they’re pastured and ethically raised.

Roasting Pork Bones for Stock

More often than not, when I’m making pork stock, it’s from leftover home-cooked dinner bones. We save pork bones after meals and store them in gallon Ziploc bags in the freezer. The bones are already roasted because they were cooked for dinner, and over a few months, we’ll generate enough bones for a fresh batch of stock.

Pork stock can be used anywhere you’d use a pork bone in soup. That’s a good place to start, with things like clam chowder or split pea soup. Baked beans are delicious with pork stock, and we make pinto beans for burritos and white beans for soups using pork stock.
