You also could use it to cook some potatoes in and make the best scalloped potatoes ever. ---

I would use it in bean soup. Ham goes well with any beans. Use it in rice, either using it place of water or making a gravy. ---

> [@Johnny\_Bravo](#): > > Doesn’t eat soup? At all? Those Quebecois make me so ANGRY sometimes! 😃 First of all, my hubby is Franco-Ontarian and gets upset if you call him Quebecois. Secondly, he is a weird picky eater. He doesn’t eat onions or peppers, or sweets at all, like tarte au sucre. Or poutine. If I hadn’t met his family I would wonder, his French Canadian cred is sure weak. On the other hand he does love him some tortiere, so that is something. ---

Nobody’s mentioned red beans and rice yet? Basically, do [this](http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/stovetop-red-beans-rice-50400000110806/), just substitute the ham stock for some of the water. You can omit the sausage or serve it on the side if you want. ---

Update: After eating ham most of the week, we were all sick of it. I boiled up the bone, with a lot of meat still left on it. As a result I have so much ham stock I made pea soup and something like what **bump** reccomended. The pea soup is still cooking but the Bumpy Ham soup (which I what I am going to call if forever now) is awesome! ---
