@Farmer Connie Yes'm they're navy beans. I don't like the way great northern cook up, they don't seem to soften up as nicely. I love this meal when it's cold out and I can let the pot simmer away on the stove all day.

Nope, the beginning. There was meat under the beans

I have not had pork hocks or feet in ages. My mother would occasionally make them. At that time some of them still had some hair on the skin. She would first run them over a flame to burn off any hair. If she missed,(things happen) then I remember getting that 5 o'clock shadow feeling on my tongue.View attachment 1214239 View attachment 1214240
I boiled the beans about an hour, strained and rinsed, then added the ham hocks. I skimmed off the bubbles and simmered a while, adding water as needed. Once the water absorption slowed down I simmered until most was absorbed. They're perfect and the meat is falling off the bones![]()
