FOOD:
Ham Broth &
Vegetables
The next time you buy a spiral ham and enjoy it, put the bone with whatever meat is left on it into a large stock pot, add some water and boil it for a few hours, refreshing the water when needed. The broth that is rendered can be magnificent.
To this broth add your selection of vegetables and simmer all for 5 minutes, just to blanch and remove some stiffness. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and taste for seasoning, add salt and pepper if needed. (Hams are generally salty, and I like to add a shake or two of Tabasco Sauce, a grind or two of fresh pepper and a Tablespoon of ground tarragon.)
Serve on a cold winter night, with some crusty bread with butter.
Vegetable Suggestions: all fresh or frozen, not canned
1 cup shelled peas
1 1/4 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed and cut into smaller pieces
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
1 cup thinly sliced baby turnips
1 cup diced asparagus
1 tablespoon ground tarragon
