    Boston Beans

    This economical one pot dish is a perfect way to use the tasty meat from a hock bone. Canned beans save cooking time, but dried beans could be used if you have time to soak and pre-cook them. Serve with crusty bread for a warming supper or lunchtime dish on a cold day. Ham knuckles are available from the Delicatessen service counter.
