Cooking 6 lbs for a New Year's Eve party to go with the jambalaya. Would love to put in a couple crick pots because I'll be at the camp the night before and got the LSU game that day

Pick up a couple ham bones from the honey baked ham store and go from there, add a stick of butter right before you serve

I add a bit of cinnamon towards the end. But what really goes well is rosemary. Finely chop some fresh rosemary or wrap fresh rosemary in cheesecloth and cook in it then remove. Really brings out a good flavor.

And yes, the stick of butter at the end for shine and creaminess.

The night before, parboil and then soak overnight covered in water - with no seasoning. Drain this water the next day and start with fresh.

The next day, boil two or three or four hamhocks in the cooking water for 20-30 minutes, remove them and pick meat off hocks. Hold this meat until later. Boil the beans in the Ham Hock flavored water, add the Hock meat back to pot about half way through the cooking. When you add the hock meat, also add the meat from at least one ham slice from the grocer. Add more if you like. As someone else said, I like a little rosemary in my beans, but not a lot. Season mostly with salt, sugar and a little black pepper. There should already be oil in the cooking water, rendered from the hocks.

Onion and Garlic cooked down in bacon grease


Put Beans, splash of pepper vinegar, ham hock, onions and garlic, and cover with low sodium chicken stock all in the crockpot. Cook on low for 8 hours or so

Season to taste. Remember that the hock is salty
