Ham Bone Recipes?

Anyone got any good recipes to use when you're trying to use a ham bone?





The only two things that come to mind are bean soup or split pea soup. You got anything else?Ham Bone Recipes?
You could use it as a base for a Vegetable soup, or nearly any thing else that you can think of that would go with the ham.


I think it would be good with Tomato, or just use as a stock.


Most will depend on how much meat is still on the bone.Ham Bone Recipes?
Well, the best thing I ever made with a ham bone is split pea soup, it gives it amazing flavor, especially if you leave some meat on the bone and it falls off towards the end of cooking time.
