I used a new (to me) butcher this year and he sent me home with the pork hocks. There smoked and besides soup, I was wondeing what else can I do with these. They've been in my frezzer for 4 months now and I need to make room. Can I just slice them up and cook them like bacon? Or bake them like little hams? I alway's thought that pork hocks were the feet, but these are the leg cut from the elbo to 6 inches up. I'm not even sure if there is any meat on these, or if there just bone, fat, and tendons. Maybe I'm just stuck with making bean and pea soup with them. Were not much of soup people.
