Smoked Dry Cured Ham Hocks
Our smoked dry cured ham hocks are taken from the hind leg of the pig.
These meaty portions are then dry cured and then air dried to concentrate the flavour before smoking gently over our applewood and cherrywood mixes. This blend of wood delivers the perfect mixture of light fragrance of apple and the rich deep flavour of the cherry wood.
Our smoked ham hock are superb as an addition to homemade baked beans or adding the depth of flavour to soups or pies.

Defrosting
Best: leave it in its vacuum pack on a plate on the bottom shelf of the fridge. Chops, rashers and small packs take about 12 hours; joints can take 24 hours or more.
Quicker: keep it in the vacuum pack and submerge it in cold tap water, changing the water every 30 minutes. Cook it straight away once defrosted.
Never defrost meat at room temperature.

Cooking
Cook pork until it is steaming hot all the way through and the juices run clear.
Rest joints for 15 minutes before carving. Pat crackling dry and salt it well for the crispest finish.
