Ham Hocks and Beans - Dorothy Farmer

Recipe

< Picture 1 of 1 >
I couldn't go without writing up my recipe for ham hocks and beans!! My family was raised on them and it could easily be said that it was Jack's favorite meal served over homemade bread!! Jennifer Crites: Don't forget the apple cider vinegar poured on top of the beans and buttered bread!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups of dried beans
  • 1 ham hock or left over ham bone from a roast
  • 4 tsp salt
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 onion, chopped

Steps

  1. Pick over 4 cups of dried beans to pick out bad beans, etc . (I liked Great Northern the best, but Pinto beans comes a close second.) Cover generously with water and let soak overnight. An hour before serving, put the soaked beans in a small pressure cooker and cover generously with water, add the salt, pepper, chopped onion and cover and cook at 10 lbs pressure according to directions for the small pressure cooker for 20 - 30 minutes. Salt might need to be adjusted if a salty ham bone is used. Serve over homemade bread. It was the custom in Jack's family to sprinkle vinegar over the ham and beans before eating them, but that is VERY optional. I liked mine WITHOUT the vinegar, but some of the children followed their father in this. ENJOY!!
