Pickled Pigs Trotter

[BraggSurvivor]

Just finished my batches of winter pickled pigs feet this afternoon. Whole house smells excellent sitting on the wood stove simmering. I'll let it cool tomorrow morning and set in jars in the afternoon. Great right out of the jar or placed on a grille.

Enjoy!

Ingredients: (per batch)
6 Halved Pigs Feet
4 Cups Apple Cider Vinegar
2 Sliced Onions
1 Sliced Red Bell Pepper
1 Sliced Yellow Bell Pepper
2 Tablespoon Chili Powder
2 Dried Bay Leaves
6 Whole Cloves
2 Teaspoons of Tabasco
1 Bay Leaf
1 Onion
1 tb Salt
12 Peppercorns, Black

Cooking Directions:
The first step to this wonderful recipe, is you must wash the pigs feet very thoroughly. You then need to take out a large pot, and place the pigs feet in cold water. Make sure the water level just covers the pigs feet. You will then want to add in the apple cider vinegar. Once the apple vinegar has been added, you will want to boil the contents. Make sure that you remove the foam if possible. Once the contents are boiling, add in all the remaining ingredients, and let cook for a full 2.5 hours, (I simmer on wood stove over night) with the heat on medium. Once the ingredients are cooked, you can then pull out some large pickle jars. Add the contents to the pickle jars, and air seal the lids. Make sure the liquid covers all the ingredients.

I like pickled pigs feet. Alot.

craved them once when I was pregnant with my oldest son.With milk. Not a good combination.

[BraggSurvivor]

I agree with you if purchase from a supermarket. I don't know what they do to them but just not the same. PPF is a favorite snack during Hockey Night In Canada with my girls.

You're probably right. My past experiences were usually in a tavern...you know the jar.....it's the one sitting right next to the hard boiled eggs.

Ummm 'round here anyways,most pig that you buy in the store or market is from farms with long barns with concrete floors that get sprayed down one to two times daily,,or they have grate type floors,the waste just falls on through,not a whole lot of mud and muck farms that sell like they used to,most of those pigs are raised to feedtheir own families.

um scuse me mr but bacon is made from pig too are you saying you don't eat bacon cuz if you don't partake in this i say we ban you right away

Yep, EVERYONE loves bacon

But bacon is under the skin, and not in contact with the outside world (within reason)

[crashdive123]

Yet, you will eat this.

Looks kind of like a brauwurst with mold growing on it. Oh Yummy.
