Recipe Instructions:

As Always the key to great cooking is to be prepared and to use quality ingredients.

Use fresh pigs feet for the best results.

Prepare 1qt jars for the storage of the pigs feet.  Each jar shoud be thoroughly cleaned to a sterile condition.

Give the pigs feet a good washing.  For presentation purposes burn off any hair that you observe.

Place pigs feet in large pot and add enough water to cover the meat.  Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat.  Reduce heat to a simmer and cook pigs feet until tender, about 1 1/2 hours.  Stir throughout the cooking process and remove any foam that forms in the pot.

Remove pigs feet from juice using a slotted spoon.  Rinse meat under hot water to remove scum and excessive fat.  Remove as many bones as possible to ensure your pigs feet will fit into the 1qt jars.  Also rewash your pot in order to cook the pickled vinegar.

Now it is time to make your pickled vinegar.  First, pour enough vinegar in the pot to cover the pigs feet.  Next add onions, bay leaves, peppercorns, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, cloves, and 2 slices of ginger root to the pot.  Bring vinegar and ingredients to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes of simmering add the pigs feet back to the pot.  Bring to a full boil then turn off the heat.

Using a slotted spoon remove each pigs feet from pot and place in a jar(three feet to each jar).  Pour the pickled vinegar over the pigs feet and seal each jar.

Refrigerate sealed jars for 3 to 7 days.  If you are feeling adventurous try pickling eggs, sausage, or pigs knuckles.

I am sure you will love the results of this pickled pigs feet recipe!
