Hi! I like to use my leftover ham for split pea and ham soup. I usually cook it in the crock pot and let it cook all day. I cut up some of the ham and leave the rest on the bone and it falls off into the soup. I use a mixture of yellow and green split peas. I follow the recipe on the back of the bag except I add chicken broth to substitute some of the water. Basically, you would rinse and pick over the peas, I use 1 bag ea. green/yellow, and put them in the crock pot. I add the ham, onion, garlic, celery and some seasonings. I fill the pot w/half water and half chicken broth and let it cook all day This is especially good w/honey baked ham

I also use some of the ham for au gratin potatoes. To shorten the baking time I microwave the potatoes until cooked through. While waiting for the potatoes I saute chopped onion, about 1/2 a white onion, in 1/2 cube of butter till soft. I slice the potatoes and put one layer of potatoes on the bottom of a large baking pan, sprinkle w/salt and pepper and 1/3 of the onion and finely chopped ham, repeat with 2 more layers. I top the potatoes with 1 cup cheddar cheese and I mix 1 can cream of mushroom soup and about about 2/3 of the can w/milk. You can heat a little to blend better. Bake about 30 min. or so on 350 degrees.
