uncured smoked pork jowl. Ideas?
Should have read the package better! Didn't see that it was smoked. Can I treat this just like it's regular pork cheeks but smokier? Been in the freezer for a bit so I'd like to cook this asap. Ty

Black Eyed Peas cooked with Hog Jawl. Served with Turnip Greens and Corn Bread.
That's Southern NYE/NYD tradition in the south. And make the corn bread and use that sop up the 'pot likker' from the greens.
Wouldn't the curing process be what gives it the saltiness? If it is uncured and only smoked it shouldnt be very salty. Right? Trying to figure out how the smoking would have effected the water content and flavor. I will try a small sample after defrost.
