What can I make with a ham bone?
My mother had a big, delicious ham for Sunday dinner and she was reminiscing about a neighbor she used to have who always asked for her ham bone at Easter to make bean soup, I think. How do you make it? Is it any good? What else can you make with it? Also a lot of leftover ham. Thanks for your help!

@drbabs, I've never used dried beans before, are canned okay? Or would you recommend the dried? Does it affect the taste much?
Any bean recipe seems to benefit from a ham bone. If you can get your hands on some of Rancho Gordo's Yellow Eyed Beans, you'll be in heaven!
