Ham - Three Ways On A Budget
Total Time: 8 hrs 20 mins
Preparation Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 8 hrs
Ingredients
- Servings: 12
- 1 1/2 lbs ham (half ham butt, on sale)
- 1 tablespoon honey dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 (12 ounce) can cola (the real thing)
- 1 lb dried navy beans
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup pickle relish
- 3 teaspoons onions, minced
- 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
Recipe
- 1 take ham out of freezer to thaw and soak your beans in a large pot with enough water to cover them by 2 inches.
- 2 the next day start your ham dinner.
- 3 mix honey-dijon mustard and brown sugar to make a paste.
- 4 rub all over ham
- 5 place in crockpot.
- 6 pour in just enough cola to bring liquid about halfway up sides of ham.
- 7 cover and cook on high 4-5 hours.
- 8 when ham has been crocking away for a few hours start your beans.
- 9 rinse beans thoroughly and pick out any nasty ones.
- 10 place back into a large stockpot and cover with water plus 2 inches.
- 11 bring to boil.
- 12 reduce heat to medium and continue to slow boil until ham in crockpot is done.
- 13 serve the crockpot ham with chosen sides (we like smashed potatoes for the gravy).
- 14 once ham is cooled remove from crockpot with slotted spoon.
- 15 place bone, fat and some chunks of ham into the bean pot along with the onion, stir.
- 16 pour the remaining "gravy" from the crockpot into the bean pot.
- 17 place remaining ham in food processor to grind up.
- 18 in large bowl, mix mayo, relish, onion and worcestershire together.
- 19 add ground ham and mix well.
- 20 refrigerate ham salad to allow flavors to meld.
- 21 allow beans to slow boil for 2-3 more hours, stirring occasionally.
- 22 voila! two dinners and lunches with not a lot of effort or expense!
