I have discovered one of the most AMAZING things I've ever tasted....Roasted bone marrow. I roasted a bone in fresh ham (thank you my local butcher) for supper tonight. It was beautiful. I glazed it with an orange marmalade and dijon glaze, then made a Orange and tea sauce to serve along side. I also served some potatoes roasted in duck fat (YUM!) along side the ham.
As I was carving up the ham, I noticed the marrow seeping out of the bone. So I grabbed a demitasse spoon an gave it a go.....absolute heaven! Not to mention that both of my children were begging me for more! What 4 and 6 year olds dig bone marrow???? I've known of people eating roasted bone marrow, but have never had the opportunity to give it a go myself. I only wish I had more bones to roast now... :(
If you have not tried it, do. It was really one of the best things that I've had in ages.
