Smoked Pork Hocks (approx. 2-3 lbs)

Smoked pork hocks, also called ham hocks, are usually taken from the larger, tougher rear legs.  This is why they are reserved for curing and smoking, which is why they are sometimes called ham hocks. Rich in gut-healthy collagen, smoked pork hocks are best known for adding a deep, smoky flavour to traditional baked beans. This smokiness also complements other slow-cooked dishes like split pea, lentil, and potato soups. Greens are another great pairing, Try simmering smoked pork hocks with cabbage, collards, kale or turnip greens.
