Better Than Bouillon Ham Base, 8 oz Jar — Concentrated Smoky Pork Flavor, Reduced Sodium

This concentrated ham base delivers a deeper, meat-forward flavor than typical bouillon cubes or powdered stocks because it’s made from real roasted ham. It’s spoonable straight from the jar so you can control intensity, and each teaspoon equals one bouillon cube for easy swaps. The product is fat free and formulated with reduced sodium compared to many ordinary bouillons, making it a convenient pantry staple for home cooks who want bold ham flavor without cooking a whole ham.

How do I use Better Than Bouillon Ham Base in everyday cooking?

Use the ham base to add instant, smoky pork flavor to liquids, gravies and dishes that benefit from savory depth. Dissolve the paste into hot water for a quick broth, or stir directly into stews, bean pots and braises during cooking for an even distribution of taste.

• Mix 1 teaspoon ham base with 8 fl oz (1 cup) hot water to make one cup of broth.
• Add a spoonful to simmering beans, lentils or greens for pork-forward flavor.
• Stir into gravies, pan sauces and risottos instead of stock or bouillon cubes.
• Use sparingly to season vegetables or casseroles—adjust to taste.
