What do I do with a ham bone?


Recommended Posts

I do navy bean soup. It's funny, I HATED it as a kid. My mom and grandmother both made it after Christmas with the ham bone from Christmas dinner. It was a difficult time for me as a child, excited and looking forward to Christmas, but dreading the wretched bean soup that followed.

I am not a fan of split pea soup - yuk! DH loves it, but I can't even stand the smell to make it for him. I eat almost everything, but just.don't.like.that!

 

So...what I do with my ham bones is throw them in a pot with a bunch of fresh green beans and some potatos. Cook a couple hours and viola - dinner.

 

Or I make black bean soup with this recipe http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/pattys-moms-black-bean-soup/Detail.aspx

Black eyed peas. You can do it in the crockpot. Just put in the ham bone, some onion, salt and pepper, and a package of dried black eyed peas. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until peas are tender. Serve with cornbread. (Peas can be frozen after cooking.)

I used to make navy bean soup with mine but now I throw them out. They are so full of nitrates that the last time I made soup with one, after half a bowl I reacted so strongly that I nearly passed out. Nitrate soup. :lol:
