My favorite recipe to use a ham bone in is my amazing homemade red beans and rice recipe.
Another great simple way to use the ham bone is to make a simple stock with it to use at a later time.
Fill a large stock pot up with about 8-10 cups of water, add the ham bone with carrots, celery, and onions and simmer until you get a nice flavorful broth. It’ll take about an hour or so. Then either use the broth or freeze it for a later date. When I freeze them, I store the stock in containers that hold about 4 cups worth, then thaw them out when I’m ready to make a soup or a stew. It’s so easy and you’ll love the flavor this homemade stock offers!
