My goto recipe for smoked hamhocks is with a big ol' pot of beans.
No recipe needed.
Seems like I remember hearing an oldie about ham hocks and collard greens somewhere, but I don't like collards, so I didn't pay much attention.
I recently purchased 50# of hamhocks and smoked about 1/3 of them. Split the rest in two parts and froze them for my mom and aunt. They were like kids in a candy store.
"I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace.
