Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
The salt and pepper used here were suitable for the ham hock we used. However, depending on the cure of your ham hock, you may require more or less salt. That said, hold off on adding the salt until about halfway through the cooking process. If I do this in the crock pot, I cook them on low for about 8 hours.
