Honey-baked Ham Bone Is The Best Part

[wacojoe]

I always wait eagerly for everybody else to eat the spiral slices of the ham and the more easily separated chunks thereafter, so that I can get the meaty bone left over for my beans. Today I cooked up 2lbs. of Butter Beans with the bone from the ham left after Thanksgiving. Along with a pan of cornbread, I was fully sated. Beans & cornbread are my idea of a culinary delight.

Sounds good.. love butter beans..

I am married to “Souper Girl” (plagiarized from a restaurant name in DC) she makes great soup from almost anything (makes all of her own chicken/turkey stock).. ham bones and turkey carcass into the freezer for soup next month..

Didn’t have very good results with honey ham bone for soup.. but.. will PM you for recipes should a honey bone appear here again (did I say, I like butter beans)

Chinese restaurant soup containers full of chicken/turkey stock line one freezer shelf..

I save most bones of any size as well as liquid that can be used as broth.

Last night I made sauteed spinach and the little bit of liquid that remained went into a container in the freezer.

I haven't bought a brand name Honey Baked Ham, but I have bought several hams from Kroger that claim to be honey baked. They use some spice or combination of spices that I don't particularly care for and don't like in my beans. The only reason I bought them was because the wife wanted them. Perhaps I should try one of the branded hams.

I stick with double smoked ham hocks, I'm not much for sweet where I am looking for savoury.

Tonight I baked an acorn squash, I put honey and butter in my wife's half and butter and paprika on mine.

The only reason I bought them was because the wife wanted them.

And, to most married men (me included) that's the right answer.
