Thanks...I cured and smoked the hocks, want to cook in the next day or 2. I have heard the hocks could release some small bones in the broth while cooking, did you notice that or prevent that some how?

It will look like they won't fit but just pack them in. They cook way down. Once they wilt down, I add 1tsp Salt, 2tsp Black Pepper and 1 TBS Brown Sugar

I was looking for a side for my ribs tomorrow and saw a Good Eats rerun last week about collard greens. So of course I come to experts here first. I think I just found my side dish for tomorrow!!!
