Holy Ham! Hubby bought a 14 pounder!

Crustless quiche. Frittata. Ham loaf. Muffinless eggs Benedict. If you can stand a little carb, crepes made with low carb flour filled with chopped ham in a cheese sauce (there are recipes for flourless cheese sauce, Heston Blumenthal's is good).

The bone should fit in your crockpot as there should be a joint in there. I get a 7kg ham for Christmas every year.

If you have freezer room, you can make packets of sandwich slices (lettuce wraps) and freeze them for when you're not tired of ham. Same for scraps for soup or crepes or whatnot.

Two of my favorite low carb things with ham are soups...especially ham and cabbage soup and broccoli and ham soup. The broccoli soup has tomatoes, too; the cabbage, just some onion, garlic, celery, the cabbage and ham. The recipes I have are too old to be online, but I'm sure there are some online if you need a recipe.

I'd freeze it. That's so much ham!!! Here are some ideas. Many are carb free. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/collection/leftover-ham-recipes

14 lbs is huge. Our NewYears ham was 8 lbs bone-in. I froze packets for fritattas, omelets, ham/bean/cabbage soups...packets of chunks cut off the bone and some thick slices for a Sunday dinner or two with braised cabbage and roasted vegetables or colcannon. This might be my last pack we are having tonight. Soup. (but they seem to breed like rabbits in the freezer). My dad likes a ham brunch hash with feta and eggs cracked on top.

I don't think i have something large enough so i would cut off some large-ish chunks and freeze since they come fully cooked.

Depending on how it's cut, I divide a ham up into packets for sandwiches, soup, etc., and then freeze it.

Just wanted to say that I often use my electric skillet when I need to cook something large like your huge ham bone.

cut it into chunks and pressure can it. I do mine in pints; just put up eight pints last week ... 75 min at 15 lbs pressue [my elevation].

I'm sure she plans on cutting it up into portions and freezing them, but she won't want to leave them in the freezer forever. The question should be, what to do with defrosted ham.

I don't have ideas that are low carb, however, that have not been mentioned, except maybe omelets. Normally I use it for sandwiches, but that would not be low carb.

You could make wraps or quesadillas with low carb tortillas. I've made deviled ham that I served in cabbage leaves or wrapped in rice paper instead of on bread.

Thatsa lotta ham 😊 I wish you could send some this way. We have a friend who has recently lost his wife and we are jointly as a group trying to keep him fed. None of us realized he cooks only a little and basics like breakfast things. I've been buying Costco half hams for him - those seem to get used. Baked one night then grilled or cold sandwiches from the leftovers.

We like ham, and use it for all mentioned above. I will sometimes grill ham steaks, marinating with your favorite flavors. Finely chopped for ham salad sandwiches. I like it with butter beans or flageolet (my fav), also split peas. Dishes more simple than 15 bean soup. I've used it in chili. With grilling season coming up, also baked beans that I tend to make more savory and not so heavy with maple syrup or brown sugar is a popular side dish here, always with a little ham or bacon added in. My baked beans have pureed tomatoes, tomato paste, onion, garlic and whatever else is handy in my kitchen that day. They are always eaten and leftovers requested to-go. You're doing low carb but we like ham with scalloped potatoes. I wonder how that could be shifted to a baked brown rice, ham and cheese dish - you could get away with only a little cheese if using one with a bold enough flavor. My freezer is my friend, I almost always have ham scraps for one quick additive or another in my freezer. DH likes sauteed cabbage, I'm sure I could come up with an acceptable skillet of cabbage with ham.

That's all without googling 'uses for leftover ham' that I'm sure you know to do.....😊

Best of luck! And I've found I need to be very specific when handing DH a shopping list. I've even printed photos of the product I want that go to the store with him so he comes home with fewer surprises. He's improving.

Well, I understand about giving him a shopping list, but he said how bout one of those spiralized hams for Easter? I thought Hey what the heck! One less thing to worry about cooking! He's learned his lesson!

Cold gray rainy spring day here in Maine. Thinking about split pea soup. Especially if you have a bone for flavoring. I have to be in the mood for split pea soup which either I love or not so much.
