    So you start with the scraps from the bone in half ham (this is how the jelled scraps came out of the plastic bag)--

    Our jars aren't as pretty as yours! I think they are around a pint.

    I'm not above reusing containers. No sense tossing them if they can be reused.

    Roy-As I'm sure you know, bone broth is supposed to be very good for aging joints (not that you have those, just for others). I try to incorporate it as often as possible for that and of course the flavor it gives to beans, soups and stews. I've got an 8-pound ham in the fridge for just that purpose.

    What I do is use the pressure cooker/canner for the initial breakdown and then I strain the cooking liquid and get it cooled fast and refrigerated. I also refrigerate the bones and scraps.

    Then the next day I can skim the fat off and I put the bones and scraps into some hot water and once they are heated I put it all into quart canning jars and pressure cook them for about 2 hour or so. Then the jars are drained and cooled and then any fat is skimmed. The liquid out of the jars is combined with the initial cooking liquid and then reduced till I like the flavor.

    Once done, the bones are very soft and in fact chicken/turkey bones actually crumble, the port and beef bones can be scrapped with a knife and make a dust.

    So I 'believe' that I've gotten as much of the calcium and other goodies out as possible. Hell the meat is utterly tasteless and very mushy. But the stock tastes great.

    For chicken, turkey and other stocks I don't add any salt but of course with the ham it's in there, I just reduce the liquid to where I have good flavor but not too salty.

    I hope this makes some sense.

    I had hors d'oeuvres for my New Years Day Stop By And Snack Event.

    There were no more than four people present at any given time and all were immediate family. I had lots of wooden toothpicks, napkins and hand sanitizer and all were well used. The grand kids were well lectured about No Double Dipping and they did very well.

    Here's what was on the menu:

    Turkey Roll Ups
    Ham Roll Ups
    Sweet and Sour Meatballs
    Stuffed Mushrooms

    Spinach Dip
    Krab Salad Spread
    Saltine Crackers
    Ritz Crackers

    Caramel Corn
    Brownies

    Baby Carrots
    Cinnamon Pickles
    Dill Pickles
    Smoked Colby Jack Cheese Cubes
    Black Olives
    Green Olives

    Martinellis Sparkling Cider
