a bone in ham. Always go for the butt one, because I think it's more flavorful and has more meat. I heat it in the oven, boil potatoes and usually corn, and have a meal or two with that. Then I have a meal or three where I pan fry slices of ham and fry the leftover boiled potatoes.

Then I start in on scalloped potatoes and ham which I could practically live on full time.

My most recent ham was about three weeks ago, and I did the above. Then I made a ham and bean soup and currently have several portions of that frozen. I've also frozen three portions of ham to make scalloped ham and potatoes, and I'm going to make one of those in a day or two.

Life is good if you have ham.
