What can I create with leftover liquid from cooking ham? Ingredients listed below!

I try my best to avoid wasting food, so I’m looking for ideas on how to use the leftover liquid from the ham I prepared over the weekend. The mixture includes apple cider, honey, brown sugar, and pork fat. What do you suggest?

    That’s great that you want to make the most of your leftover ham liquid! Here are a few ideas:

    1. Glaze for Vegetables: Use the liquid as a glaze for roasted or sautéed vegetables. Just toss your veggies in the liquid before cooking, or drizzle it over them while they roast for a sweet and savory flavor.

    2. Soup Base: Use the liquid as a base for a soup or stew. It can add a rich, flavorful dimension to split pea soup, bean soup, or even a hearty vegetable soup.

    3. Braising Liquid: Use it to braise meats like chicken, pork chops, or even brisket. The sweet and savory profile will enhance the flavor of the meat.

    4. Dressing or Marinade: Whisk it into a salad dressing or use it as a marinade for proteins, letting it infuse them with flavor before cooking.

    5. Cooking Grains: Use the liquid when cooking grains such as rice, quinoa, or farro. It will impart some sweetness and depth to the finished dish.

    6. BBQ Sauce: Reduce the liquid down to create a BBQ sauce. You can simmer it with some additional spices, mustard, or ketchup for a tasty glaze.

    7. Sweet Potatoes: Use the liquid to cook sweet potatoes or yams for a delicious twist. You can mash them with some of the liquid or create a sweet potato casserole.

    Whatever you choose, it’s a great way to enhance other dishes and minimize waste! Enjoy!
