    Freezing smoked ham hocks

    Question I have is, is it OK to freeze smoked ham hocks. Up here in WNY, it's getting harder and harder to fine anyone that carries them and those that do, now just do so in the colder weather. I'm thinking of loading up and just freeze them when I can get them. Thanks in advance and enjoy...

    Sausage Question

    Agree with BGKYS. Leave it out, as guys call it time to Bloom? Works for me every time. Don't know science behind it, but if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.
