Ham bones provide a smoky and salty flavor to many dishes. Store them in a plastic bag; they last in the fridge for two to three days, or three months in the freezer. If using a vacuum sealer, it is recommended to seal the bone to prevent freezer burn. Additionally, a frozen ham bone can be added directly to a stock pot without defrosting, enhancing the dish with its rich flavors from fat and marrow.
Ham bones are flavor bombs that can impart salty and smoky complexity into a plethora of dishes. Properly storing ham bones ensures their use beyond the initial meal.
Seal a ham bone in a plastic bag; fridges preserve bones for two to three days, while freezers extend that to about three months.
A frozen ham bone can be directly tossed into a stock pot for cooking without defrosting, although it might cool the pot's contents.
Using the remaining fat, marrow, and bits of meat on a ham bone enhances richness and savory flavor in dishes.
