We butchered one of our pigs...she weighed in at around 300 lbs and we got 247lbs of good meat. My ?? is about how to cook it..I had my neighbor try it first and he cooked 2 chops...one wetter and one drier. Any advice on how to cook it??? I dont think i can eat it...but I would like to try.
Home grown pork is so yummy. Throw some pork chops in the crop pot with a can of cream of mushroom and cook on low for 9-12 hours. Make some mashed taters and use the soup as gravy. Yum. We also cook a ham roast with taters and carrots in the crock pot. I can't eat store bought pork any more.
I just bought a pasture raised pig this weekend to share with some friends - he goes to the processor Wednesday and I am really looking forward to trying it. I sure hope I like it because my share will be about 70 pounds!
I'm late, but I'll chime in: please do try to eat that homegrown pork. It will be worth it. :9 I learned to cook pork chops over a bed of rice with a can of chicken broth and some water thrown in. Slather mustard over the tops of the chops, cover, then put in the oven on 350F for as long as it takes. Simple and delicious!
