Smoked ham hocks are excellent to use instead of a ham bone. | 17. If there is not enough ham on the ham bone, then add additional ham of your choice. | 18. You may also use about 1/4 teaspoon of Liquid Hickory Smoke, to get a smokey flavor. | 19. You may also use whole peas, but it will take a bit longer to cook these peas so that they are tender. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
