How to make Ham - Three Ways on a Budget

  • Take ham out of freezer to thaw and soak your beans in a large pot with enough water to cover them by 2 inches.
  • The next day start your ham dinner.
  • mix honey-dijon mustard and brown sugar to make a paste.
  • rub all over ham
  • place in crockpot.
  • pour in just enough cola to bring liquid about halfway up sides of ham.
  • cover and cook on high 4-5 hours.
  • When ham has been crocking away for a few hours start your beans.
  • Rinse beans thoroughly and pick out any nasty ones.
  • Place back into a large stockpot and cover with water plus 2 inches.
  • Bring to boil.
  • reduce heat to medium and continue to slow boil until ham in crockpot is done.
  • Serve the crockpot ham with chosen sides (we like smashed potatoes for the gravy).
  • Once ham is cooled remove from crockpot with slotted spoon.
  • Place bone, fat and some chunks of ham into the bean pot along with the onion, stir.
  • Pour the remaining "gravy" from the crockpot into the bean pot.
  • Place remaining ham in food processor to grind up.
  • in large bowl, mix mayo, relish, onion and worcestershire together.
  • add ground ham and mix well.
  • refrigerate ham salad to allow flavors to meld.
  • Allow beans to slow boil for 2-3 more hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Voila! Two dinners and lunches with not a lot of effort or expense!
