Ingredients

3 lbs split pigs feet; more or less

8 ea peppercorns

4 ea cloves garlic, minced or mashed

2 ea allspice

2 quarts water

10 stems parsley, chopped

1 cup onion odds and ends or 1/4 cup chopped onion

1 pint beef stock

1 squirt hot sauce

Directions

Cook in a slow cooker on low for at least 12 hours.

Strain the liquid.

Pick the meat from the bones - you will have at least 1/2 lb meat and yes, it is a labor of love.

Freeze the leftover "pickin's" for use in black bean soup, bulk sausage and other delights.

The stock should be refridgerated (it will gel) and the fat taken off the top.

Put the defatted stock back in the crockpot the next day with smoked pork neck bones, onions and parsley and leftover beef stock and what have you in the fridge?

Cook another 12 hours or more on low.

The stock should be stored in the fridge or frozen.... it is incredibly delicious! Can be used for black bean soup or the basis for just about any soup.

When you serve these results, be sure to wait until your guests TRY the meal items before announcing what is in them... you may just get a dining room full of converts as I am.

Note: some cooks boil the pigs feet for a couple of minutes FIRST before cooking them as above... discarding the boiling liquid from this step, if used.

Hey, I love pigs feet-it's pork ain't it. I don't like the neck bones because I end up with to many little tiny bones to pick out. You're right, the feet make a delish stock. TY weeble.

I love pig's feet. No-one ever want to admit to it. Someone's buying them because it's always on the shelves fresh and pickled. ;) It's just good eating.

OH MY GOSH!!! PIGS FEET!!! I grew up enjoying pigs trotters and I miss the way my Mother made them. For some reason, they just tasted better than mine or any others. The one herb that my Mother used that I think must never be omitted was a couple of Bay leaves. You are soooooo right about reserving the stock. There's nothing like it. Thanks so much for the memory nudge ;) You've got my "5".
P.S. I had to question this. You have 4 ea ??? and also 2 ea allspice??? It looks like an ingredient was forgotten and the 2 ea allspice puzzles me.
