Don't Waste That Ham

This past Easter I baked a bone-in ham, wrapped in foil, then unwrapped and covered with a glaze. Delicious! In the past, I had never bothered going to the trouble of using the ham bone for soup or whatever, so I usually just picked off as much ham as possible and discarded the bone.

This year, I simmered the ham bone for about 2 hours, on the off chance I might want to make something more. Lo and behold, when it was done, there was a ton more ham to easily tear off! What a bounty! And it was even moister than the rest of the ham!

So, always make sure you get the best of everything. And I thank all of you for all your awesome tips!
