Nancy J.'s Notes:

OHH MY GOOSH!!!
Flavor to die for!!!!
Served with smashed taters and green beans...You have a meal fit for a King or a Queen....
This is an ole German recipe, known as Schweinshaxe. Or a baked pork hock.
Easy to prepare, with a crispy skin, very tender and flavorful meat that will fall off the bone.
It takes time to cook, but all you have to do is be patient and build up your appitite.
What else can I say????
But enjoy....Nancy...2/11/13

When at the meat market...pick out knuckle or knuckles..heavy with meat.

When home,rub the skin with salt, garlic and oil.

As soon as I can get some knuckles you know I will!! I wonder how it would come out if you were to do this seasoning of the meat and then smoked them?? What do think Ma??
