Hi Jaden! Now you know what you can do with your ham bones :) And you can enjoy you now-gone ham's essence for days to come :)

I too haven't heard of ham stock, but I have always wondered what to do with my Honeybaked Ham bone.

Will try next time...prob Thanksgiving!

2007-09-07T12:29:00.000+08:00

Hi Ximena! Of course if you are in Spain you can get all the jamon serrano bones you want...lucky, luck duck! :) I'll try a mix next time...sounds like a great way to extend chicken stock too :) Thanks!

Hi Belinda! That rice you Grandma made sounds so good and comforting...was it soupy? Thick? Maybe I'll try it too :) I find this to be such a flavor-packed stock to have...

2007-09-06T22:42:00.000+08:00

You know, Joey, I've never made ham stock before, but after reading your inspiring post, I now feel like I must have it on hand. My grandmother used to make rice with some broth and juice from a baked ham around holiday times, but I for the life of me can't recall any details...I was a kid, and way more interested in eating and playing than in cooking in those days. I do remember that it was delicious though. Now I'm craving rice made with your ham stock! :-)

mmmm, yes. lovely stock. I always make a mix, chic...

2007-09-06T15:43:00.000+08:00

mmmm, yes. lovely stock. I always make a mix, chicken stock with a few ham bones thrown in. best thing ever, and serrano is the only one we have, so of course they´re the ones to use here.

2007-09-06T15:42:00.000+08:00

Hi Bee! I didn't know that about Chinese soups using ham stock...thanks for passing that tidbit along...now the wheels in my head are turning :)

Hi MM! Heehee :) I don't think I wiped out the supply (I mean we're not talking Nutella here, hehe)! ;) And I only get them when I can't get any serrano bones -- you must try thess...amazing stock and soups! Thank so much for bottle heads up...will email you! :)

Hi Kelly-jane! Wish we had autumn here...oh well, can't let a silly thing like "not having an autumn season" stop me from making autumnal soups! ;)

Hi Aria! Thanks :) It is a bit of a "labor of love" now that you mention it...but it really pays off when you want some good soup/stew and you've got these tucked away :)

Hi Chris! Thanks for stopping by and for leaving such a nice comment :)

Hi Patricia! This stock's really got body :) Mmmm, risotto! That sounds like a fantastic idea! :)

Hi Amanda! Lucky you to be gifted with a whole leg of serrano! And I can imagine how wonderful it is to go through it for months, savoring it and using it in different ways...yum! If you make some stock you will have something to remember it by when it's all gone :)

Ah Joey, you're so right!When I was growing up we ...

2007-09-06T03:41:00.000+08:00

Ah Joey, you're so right!
When I was growing up we used to have ham and pea soup, it was made with dried split peas and the ham bone. This was before I'd ever encountered jamon serrano of course.

My in-laws sometimes buy us a whole jamon serrano (sadly not pata negra) for Christmas when they're coming over from Spain. It lasts us for months and when it's all drying out we hack bits off and make things like fabada. We've cut the bones up and put them in while cooking but have never made a stock to keep as such. What an excellent idea and I could just taste it reading your words. Thank you

2007-09-05T20:27:00.000+08:00

Joey, NOW I know why it is getting harder and harder to buy bones from my Majestic ham sukis!!! :) I usually try to stock bones from 3-4 hams in the freezer at any one time so that I can quickly make a ham stock... oh, and P.S., I found the bottle source you were looking for, email me for details...

2007-09-05T13:55:00.000+08:00

I heard the secret to a lot of Chinese soup dishes (especially by Cantonese/Hong Kong chefs) are yam stock...I have never attempted making it at home though. :P

2007-09-05T10:55:00.000+08:00

Hi Veron! It really infuses soups and stews with amazing flavor :)

Hi Nens! Thank you! And yes, I agree...Jamon serrano rocks :)

Hi Lorraine! It's a whole different flavor...great for soups and stews :)

Hi Tanna! You so deserve it! You have reached out to so many people through blogging :) "I always have a hard time getting to it and then when I do I'm surprised and pleased all over again like I'd never done it before!" --> I SO know what you mean! :)

Hi Katiez! It is icredible! When it comes to flavor, dry cured ham bones just keep on giving :) Good luck with your butcher!

Hi Marvin! I'm really enjoying the book...I pull my head out of it at odd moments saying, "This is so inspiring!", and people just look at me like I'm from another planet!

Hi Maryann! I can imagine how delicious it would be with pea soup...thanks for the idea! :)

Hi Andy! The serrano ham's strong flavor really infuses the stock with goodness :) I'm other dry-cured ham would do good as well. I also add some smoked ham bones...I'm sure your market's ham is yummy! Sigh...I wish we had a fall!

2007-09-05T10:46:00.000+08:00

I have never made ham stock with serrano ham but it must be amazing! I normally just use a good smoked ham from our little country meat market. Looking forward to great soups in fall!

I'm with you about the flavors of ham stock. I like it as a start to my pea soup. Thanks for the reminder. Will be needing this soon as the season changes :)

2007-09-05T03:47:00.000+08:00

Ham stock made with Jamon Iberico... I think I'm in heaven! I never thought to use dry-cured ham for stock (slaps head in amazement) but your right, the flavor must be incredible. I'm going to go sweet talk a butcher tomorrow!

2007-09-05T03:37:00.000+08:00

(low bow) Thank You very kindly Joey. I am ever so glad to have found this most incredible place and fabulous bloggers like you who populate it. I'm delighted that Jaden tagged you with this!!
Stock is incredible stuff isn't it. I always have a hard time getting to it and then when I do I'm surprised and pleased all over again like I'd never done it before!
