Season them with salt and pepper, put them in the slow cooker with water and a touch of vinegar, a sliced or coarsely chopped onion, and let them simmer all day.

They eat them a lot in Spain actually. <br /><br />Just look up recipe's on The internet you'll find hundreds.<br /><br />In regards to marrow, it's really good but don't just buy the bones. Get them with the meat, make a nice stew, and eat away. It goes well with rice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955116067520235636.post-15151019378812764142010-02-11T22:29:35.956-06:002010-02-11T22:29:35.956-06:00I have been in search for leaf lard for months. M...I have been in search for leaf lard for months. Most of the butchers at my local stores (including Whole Foods and other "specialty" stores) say they can't get it anymore because they get their meat boxed and it is no longer an option. I'm hoping to find some from local ranchers once the Farmer's Markets open - it could certainly be an additional monetary base for you.<br /><br />In terms of hocks, we find them smoked, locally, in our store.<br /><br />In regards to your beef, I'd consider buying beef liver and marrow bones - might be something you don't hear of often. Do you have a local Weston A. Price chapter? If so, I'd recommend marketing there as they might be interested in more of your offal and other "off" market cuts.<br /><br />Best,<br />SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904001311262731237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955116067520235636.post-73862899236326958872010-02-08T20:05:33.109-06:002010-02-08T20:05:33.109-06:00If by shanks you mean the hocks, we have them smok...If by shanks you mean the hocks, we have them smoked and they make a wonderful soup.

We will all miss you. Zeke is going to miss your little guy. I'll miss his smiling greetings.<br /><br />The bathroom hooks look great. The walls to the downstairs are incredible. I'm certain there are other things I've missed. Oh, yes, the stitched up comforter cover.<br /><br />We'll keep the success of the farm in our prayers.<br /><br />JoelAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05000034196657536102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955116067520235636.post-16213364360825673312010-01-26T10:57:14.469-06:002010-01-26T10:57:14.469-06:00Crown roast is always a big hit at out house.
