Notes
Budd’s Free Range Pork Hocks are cured and smoked in-house, giving these baked beans a rich smoky flavour that simply can’t be replicated with ordinary ham or bacon.
This recipe is even better the next day and freezes well.
For a heartier meal, serve over baked potatoes or alongside grilled sausages.
A splash of hot sauce at the table works beautifully for those who enjoy a little extra kick.
