Ham
So I am cutting up the last of my Holiday ham, I have at least a 2 quart casserole full of big and little slices, so that's good. I will probably just heat it and serve it tonight, as-is.
Does anyone have a really really good recipe using the hambone, though?
There is a lot of nice meat still clinging to it, and I'm not going to hack it all off. The meat's so flavorful, and I would just like to be able to create something good and yummy from what's left...

Here's another bean soup recipe that's really good
Superb Ham And Bean Soup
1 meaty ham bone and scraps of leftover ham
1 16 oz can pinto beans
1 16 oz can black beans
1 16 oz can black-eyed peas
1 16 oz can great northern beans, or navy beans
1 16 oz can red kidney beans
1 16 oz can lentil soup
6 quarts water
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced
juice of one lemon
1 pinch ginger
2 stalks celery, split lengthwise
1/2 pound ditalini, cooked
salt and pepper, to taste
Place ham bone, meat scraps, celery stalks, minced garlic, ginger and chopped onions in a large stockpot. Add 6 quarts of water. Place the lid on pot slightly off center to allow steam to escape. Boil on medium-high heat for 3 hours, adding enough water to replace what boiled off every 1/2 hour.
Remove ham bone, onion, and celery stalks. Take meat off the bone, cutting it into small bits, discarding fat. Put meat back into pot. Drain liquid from the cans of beans and add beans to pot. Add the lentil soup, crushed tomatoes, and lemon juice.
Reduce heat to medium.
Cook pasta in a separate pot according to package directions, until just tender. Drain and add pasta to soup pot. Continue to cook on medium heat for 1/2 hour. Add salt and pepper to taste.

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

Until he swallows it and you have to take him to the vet for an emergency fee on New Year's Day. I bet Doc Jones loves to get called out on a holiday. Especially when they wait and watch him all day and when he finally seems sick enough--around 11 pm--they call.mutepointe wrote:Just give it to the dog. At least until the bone is gone, you'll have a moment's peace.

Hi
This thing (whatever it is) is not nearly annoying enough! What about our withdrawal symptoms?

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

Oooooh! Look at this! An entire thread devoted to . . . Babe! Mmmmmm!
Lentil soup is quite tasty when done with ham. Brown onion in olive oil until soft, toss in celery and brown lightly, carrots, ham bone, a package or two of those brown lentils, enough water to cover . . . gradually add water later as you need to replace and increase volume.

Hmmm, another vote for bean soup. I'll be making a pot up in the next day or so. We'll put it in the slow cooker all day with a bag of various beans (you can buy it as 12 or 20 bean soup) and a few veggies. Yum.
If you have any chunk ham left one of my favorite dishes is a potato, ham, and cheese casserole. I haven't made that in while, I need to buy another ham.
My mom called this morning to get the ham recipe I've been using. Here it is in case you buy another ham.
1 ready-to-eat bone-in Ham (12 to 14 lbs)
Whole cloves
1/2 cup dark brown sugar (I usually use more)
3 cans (5 1/4 oz each) pinapple chunks with juice
1 cup bitter orange marmalade
1 cup bourbon
1. preheat oven to 350F
2. peel skin from ham and trim fat,leaving 1/4 inch layer. Score fat in
diamond pattern
3. insert cloves in cross point of each diamond
4. pat brown sugar all over ham
5. place in shallow baking ham and cook for 1/2 hr
6. while ham is baking, heat pinapples and juice and marmalade in saucepan.
Remove from heat and add bourbon
7. remove ham from oven and pour sauce over it
8. bake, basting frequently, for 1 1/2 hrs
9. remove from oven and transfer ham to serving platter. Transfer pinapple
chunks to a saucepan. skim fat from cooking juices and then add the defatted
juices to pinapple chunks. Reheat and serve in bowl or gravy bowl.
My only problem with ham is having to carve it up. For every two pieces I put on the platter one goes in my mouth. By the time dinner is ready I'm already full from munching on ham.
