I roasted a smoked ham this weekend and then sliced it into family sized portions and froze it. After reading lately about not throwing away chicken carcasses and beef bones, I made chicken and beef broth last weekend.
I looked at the big bone with the joint in the middle and the toasty morsels left over and fat, I thought I wonder if that would make a nice broth? So I roasted the bone, etc. with some onions and put it in the pressure cooker with some cloves for an hour. It looks and smells good.
I never heard of anyone doing this before. I just did it on a whim but don't know what to do with it now. What could I use it for? Is there a ham sauce recipe or something I could use it for? Should I reduce it or leave as is?
Any ideas appreciated.
