Merry Christmas to all on the best food board in the state!

Got a ham for Christmas that was not pre-sliced, so I had to cut it up myself. I saved all the skin and fat.

So my question for the board is, what would you do with it? I'm thinking boiling it down and separating the fat from the liquid after cooking for a few hours. That way I'd have ham broth and something akin to bacon fat.

Thoughts?

Throw it in a cast iron skillet with a stick of butter. Add onions and peppers, when it’s all brown and sticky, dump a cup or two of cooked rice in in and brown it. Good stuff!

I would make some type of bean soup with it.

Dice some taters and toss them in that rendered ham fat

Roast at 425.

Or same concept but w a veggie medley of collard greens, carrots, zucchini


Profit.
