The Wedlinydomowe method looks okay, but we never removed the skin, it becomes a tasty gelatinous treat when softened because of the extended cooking.
Grandpa's recipe was very much the same (skin retained), but he used picklin' spice, ohneeyohn and gahlic!!!!

Here's the method for canning them......

Canned Pickled Pigs Feet

Ingredients

Pigs feet
2 quarts vinegar
1 small red pepper
2 tablespoons grated horseradish
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon whole allspice
1 bay leaf
Scald, scrape, and clean feet thoroughly. Sprinkle lightly with salt and let stand for 4 to 8 hours in the refrigerator. Wash the feet well in clean water. Place them in hot water and cook until tender but not until meat can be removed from bones.

Mix remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil.

Pack feet into hot jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Fill jars 1/2-inch from top with the boiling vinegar solution. Remove air bubbles. Wipe jar rims. Adjust lids and process.

Process in a Dial Gauge Pressure Canner at 11 pounds pressure or in a Weighted Gauge Pressure Canner at 10 pounds pressure:

Pints or Quarts.................................. 75 minutes

CAUTION: If you are processing at an altitude over 1000 feet, be sure to follow altitude adjustments for your style pressure canner.
