If you can't find ham hocks from genuine dry-cured hams, use an excellent-quality smoked country bacon.
One 2-pound smoke-cured pork shoulder hock or 2 pounds sliced lean smoked country bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 1/2 quarts water
Put the bacon and water in a stockpot and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over moderate heat for 2 hours; the stock will be intensely flavored. Strain the stock and let cool, then refrigerate for several hours. Discard the fat before using.
