Ham Bone Recipes

[robinforman]

I am hosting Easter for our family tomorrow, and expect to be left with a big 'ole ham bone. I am hoping to make something yummy with it... any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

My parents always made split pea soup with the ham bone. That is probably why I always buy the boneless kind of ham, I cannot stand split pea soup! I think its the color. Anyway, if you like that it is easy to make:

My father used to make something pretty similar to this recipe but it had barley in it too.

I just put mine in a big ole' pot of pinto beans (the dried ones, rinsed and picked over for rocks) and let them boil away all day. Serve with cornbread and enjoy!

Ham Dumplings!

Here is one I make almost every time I have leftover ham or a ham bone.

Navy Bean Soup

• 2 cups dry navy beans, soaked overnight
• 6 cups hot water
• Ham hock or 1 lb. chopped ham
• finely chopped carrots
• ½ onion, finely minced
• 2-3 cloves minced garlic, or generous sprinkling of garlic powder
• 3-4 chicken bouillon cubes
• a few turns of freshly ground pepper

Rinse beans, soak in 6 cups water overnight. Do not drain. Add remaining ingredients, cook in Crockpot on low 8-10 hours. Remove ham hock, cut into bite size pieces, return to cooker. Stir and serve with biscuits.

Wouldn't it be ME that was weird, since I would have been the one starting the human bone recipe thread?? LOL! Crazy what your eyes see sometimes...

Thanks for all the great suggestions, everyone!
