HAM STOCK



Ham Stock image

The quantity of meat you'll have in your finished ham stock will vary depending on whether you use shanks or hocks. Although shanks from the butcher yield more meat, they are not as widely available as hocks, which can be found at most supermarkets.

Categories     Vegetable     Ham     Clove     Simmer     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 3 1/2 cups (not including meat)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 pounds meaty smoked ham shanks or ham hocks
2 quarts cold water
1 large onion, chopped (2 cups)
2 carrots, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 celery ribs, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
3 large garlic cloves, crushed
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
2 teaspoons dried thyme, crumbled
3 whole cloves
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Combine ham shanks and cold water in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot and bring to a boil, skimming any foam. Add remaining ingredients and simmer, partially covered, until shanks are tender, about 2 hours. Pour stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large metal bowl, reserving shanks and discarding remaining solids.
  • Discard skin and bones from shanks. Trim and coarsely shred meat, then return to stock.
