anyone ever cure pork hocks? also has anyone made jowl bacon?

bought half a pig/side of pork from a butcher shop maybe 2 months ago.

got the jowl and pork hocks am hoping to cure and smoke (unless someone else has an idea for them) but never before have i cooked with jowl or the hocks lol.

I can cook with them, but I've only cured regular bacon before. I imagine it would be close to the same.

The hocks go great with beans, slow simmered on the stove or in the oven are the best methods in my opinion. Jowl bacon is tasty!

Jared, I agree with Kusanar....There is always something worst....look on
the bright side and be Thankful for all the Good you have. Let the
Bad things go...they will pass ...stressing about things won't solve a thing
they just make you feel worst..stay happy..and healthy. Aria

I have been trying New Recipes now that I have TIME. It seems I prefer
making and baking. No overnight. I like the Sourdough Taste. Always
works for me....with changes and Flour combo. I am NOW using: Whole
Wheat, Spelt,and Bread Flour. Yesterday I made a 9 x 5 Loaf...(made the
Recipe IM tried). Aria

I am trying one today that is a same day recipe. It uses two cups of starter to make one loaf of bread

That looks interesting. As always, if it turns out well, post it here so we can try it.

I do not know how to cure a pork hock but it sounds like a fun thing to do!

When we cured anything pork, we used Morton's Sugar Cure and followed the directions. Once it was cured, smoking was optional. It has been discontinued but Google can find a substitute and how to use it.

Ron, The most Starter I have used is one cup. Remember you owe me a
name for my Sourdough Starter. Others have suggested: Lewis&Clark
