FANNIE's Notes:

AN OLD COUNTRY RECIPE I COOK THIS QUITE OFTEN

Comments from the Test Kitchen: Kitchen Crew

Perfect, perfect, perfect for your next potluck or cookout. The Crew and I loved the mix of vegetables and ham hock. And even though the recipe calls for jalapeno, don't let that scare you! There's just enough to add a hint of flavor without overwhelming the dish with heat. Enjoy!

 

Directions

1
WASH HAM HOCKS AND PUT IN LARGE POT ADD ALL OTHER INGREDIENTS (EXCEPT GREENS )COVER WITH WATER BRING TO A RAPID BOIL
THEN TURN FIRE ON MED HEAT AND COOK UNTIL VERY TENDER ABOUT 2 HRS.
2
WASH GREENS ABOUT 7 TIMES WITH COOL WATER NOW DRAIN WELL AND ADD TO HAM HOCKS COOK ABOUT 45 MIN. ADD 3 TBLS COOKING OIL COOK ANOTHER 10 MIN. SERVE WITH CORN BREAD COOK CORNBREAD AS DIRECTED ON BOX

Fannie, I am 63 years old and don't normally chat with people I don't know. I also am not into false flattery. I would have emailed you but didn't know how. You are truly a gifted woman. I don't know your circumstances but I noticed you did say you weren't working. If you have the stamina that it takes you would be successful owning a restaurant or writing a cookbook. Wish I lived closer (I'm Central Texas) and I'd help you with a book. The good Lord gave you a talent and I know your family appreciates you but there is a big area out there that would too. I've already given you the red heart as my favorite cook and copied/saved all your recipes, even the oxtail one.

oh i forgot to add, on the bottle ARTHRITIS & FIBROMYALGIA , its not expensive so you may want to try it, 3 differnt sizes from $4.95 - $17.95 , i plan on trying this recipe, i love greens but i seldom eat them but they are suspose to be really good for you,, i dont want the hocks but would salt pork work just as good? or bacon drippings? The reason im asking i have never cooked with ham hocks.
