I just got a ham yesterday myself. Could not resist the sales and we have such a busy week. leftovers will work nicely for dh's lunches and quick dinners.
I froze the scraps and bone as well. have done so before. It thaws just fine for use in soup. I plan to use a bean and barley mix I grabbed at Tarder Joes(17 bean and barley). Just a bag of all kinds of beans, dried peas, lentils, etc... and some barley. Since dd will not eat it, I do not know about the allergen safety. But it looks like a yummy mix.
