Time 2h15m

Yield About 9 cups

Number Of Ingredients 1

2 pounds hamhocks or a 2-pound piece of Smithfield ham or other cured country ham

Steps:

  • Rinse the hamhocks or ham, and set in a large stockpot. Add 1 gallon of water. Cook, covered, at a full simmer for at least 2 hours, or until stock develops a strong flavor. Strain and discard the meat. (Or use the meat to make ham salad or to flavor soups or beans.)
  • Cool stock completely and skim off all the fat. (Hamhocks will produce more fat.) Stock may be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for six months.
