Any suggestions for what to do with this ham bone I've been saving?
We're tired of lentils and split peas, and looking for something else.

Good in many soups; potato comes to mind. There're bean soups of all
kinds, even lima, with greens too... how about a rich ministrone?

You could freeze the ham bone until you're in the mood for lentils or split
peas. Or:

http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1948...238204,00.html

You sound like you know what you're doing. Make a watery stock first, using
the ham bone. Then, continue with that recipe, using the stock instead of
water. When I've made this, I've pureed some of the beans & liquid to make
the thing creamier. And, sometimes I'll add some very finely chopped red
bell pepper 1/2 hour before serving. Nice balance to the richness of the
beans. But, I only add the peppers to what I'll serve that day. If you
freeze the soup with the peppers, they lose pretty much everything except
their color.

A nice pot of chile, or maybe pozole. Or make ham stock and use it to
cook rice. You could make stock and freezer it in icecubes, use it
here are there for sauces.

A ham bone makes great stock, can be used for a myriad of things. Be

I like the idea of using it in a rice dish. Thanks, I'll poke around and
see what I can come up with.

My favorite is yellow split pea, but you could make vegetable soup with
a ham bone or vegetable-barley.

Near the end of making a big pot of homemade chicken broth, add the ham
bone and simmer for another hour or so.

Everything you make with the broth will taste even better.

Use the ham bone instead of the hocks, simmer maybe 30 minutes instead
of 2-3 hours.

Sour Soup

Recipe By: Mom, posted to r.f.cooking by Barb Schaller 10/20/2006
Serving Size: 1
Preparation Time: 0:00
Categories: Slovensky Recepty

Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method
3 or 4 Fresh pork hocks
3 quarts water
1 quart sauerkraut juice
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups sauerkraut juice
1 onion diced
bacon fat

Cover pork hocks with water (about 3 quarts), bring to boil, reduce
heat, cover and simmer for 2-3 hours, until meat is tender. Remove
hocks from liquid and, when cool enough to handle, remove meat from
bones and chop. Add the quart of kraut juice to the liquid and cook for
about 10 minutes. Mix the 3 tablespoons flour into the 2 cups kraut
juice and add to the pot, stirring. Return the meat to the kettle.
Brown the onion in the bacon grease (or vegetable oil) until brown; add
to pot. Bring to boil and pour over lecky -- little noodle dough
squares. Grind black pepper over to taste.
----------
Notes: 3/27/01. Couldn't get fresh hocks so I used smoked. Cooked
them for at least 2-3 hours, chilled the broth and removed the fat
before proceeding. Had to buy kraut juice (20 oz.?) at the co-op for
$4.58!! Jeez! Had some kraut juice in the fridge from pirohy-making.
Had homemade lechky. Pretty darned good.

I love 15-bean soup. Add some carrots, onions, lots of black pepper
and thyme. Yum!

That's a great idea, Om. I'm going to have to try that. What was your
recipe?

I know it sounds weird, but I've even made cream of mushroom & ham soup
using a ham bone-based stock. It was wonderful! My neighbor's kids kept
coming over and begging for bowls of it. :~)

Simple actually. :-)

Made the hambone stock first and separated the meat for cooling and
shredding. Left the stock in the 'frige overnight for defatting.

I made the stock by pressure cooking the ham bones (with remaining meat)
for 30 minutes.

Added 2 medium onions, one sliced head of cabbage and 6 cloves or so of
fine sliced garlic, 1 fresh grated carrot, put it all back into the
pressure cooker and pressured for 15 minutes.

Salted and peppered to taste.

It was a bit too garlicy imho (if that's possible but cabbage flavor is
pretty mild) but other than that, it was good.

Watch me jump to the head of the line. Tonight's dinner:

Carrot-Ginger Bisque

Fresh sorrel salad with basil-tomato-mustard vinaigrette

Grouper with hoisin-orange glaze, grilled over mesquite

Too bad the wench is in Texas. Ha ha ha.

Where are you? This sounds good. You'll see the swoop of
headlights in the drive way.

Oh! Well then, I guess you can get back in line. With that dinner you have
