Canned Split Pea Soup

I've been into canning lately. Most of it has been dreaming of what I'll do with the Green Gage plums when the tree is full of them. But I saw a Farmer John ham on sale at 60% off, and bought it to can. I diced the ham into 1" cubes, removing the fat before simmering it with water for a short while. I put up four bottles of diced ham with the broth.
A few days later, I made split pea soup with the ham bone, planning to bottle the soup. That was another seven bottles for the pantry.
