The few times I have tried to cook using ham stock or broth, I concluded that it left too strong and uncompatible a flavor in the food I was making. (Maybe it is just my own taste.) For example, I stopped using ham stock when making a pot of ham and (Northern) beans. I am curious whether others have a particular recipe that they feel is improved by using ham stock

I use the broth for Melissa Clark recipe Ham and red beans with Collards soup. It works fine with chicken or veg broth too, but especially delicious with the ham broth and ham pickings. A once a year winter treat, with the ham bone sourced from my relatives’ contribution to the family holiday dinner. Different relative each year. Practically Guaranteed that at least on of my relatives serves a holiday ham.

Perfect for split pea soup!

I used the ham broth to make Ramen - delicious!

I just boiled the ham bone and leftover ham. No veggies. After cooling, I picked off the ham off the bone. And then I put it all in the fridge overnight and then skimmed off the fat in the morning. It was perfect.

I made broth with just the bone and some onion and used it with some chicken broth to make lima bean soup. The soup was made with frozen baby lima beans, carrots, celery and onion.
