Holiday Ham with Pineapples (Easter or Christmas) by Denise Sherin

This is the way my Nanny and Mom made our holiday ham. We had it for Easter, Christmas and side by side with turkey on Thanksgiving.

Just thicken the juices with a…

Southern Low Country Braised Pig's Feet by Smokinhotchef

I actually returned some of the traditional slab to the serving plate so I could make room for this winner! The best part of this recipe is the mix of cumin and coriander in the dry rub.…

Lone Star Pork & Cabbage by Tracy Morris

We didn't eat a lot of pork in my house growing up. I grew up thinking that beyond ham and bacon, pork was something that Yankees eat. And yes, we did use that term. Still do in certain parts. I was a little crazy about folks from the northeast as a young woman. I get along peculiarly well with people who hail from The City (as those…
