Smoked Ham Hock, Goat Cheese, Black Walnut and Dried Cherry Dressing
The recipe initially appeared in The Kansas City Star and starts with quality bread.
We like Farm to Market's country white bread. The plumpness of dried cherries
complements the ham hocks, but you could substitute craisins, if you prefer. The
original recipe called for pine nuts but added a uniquely Missouri twist by swapping them out for Hammond's black walnuts. Top the dressing with a locally
made goat cheese and you've got a recipe that has been on the recipe tester's
table for nearly two decades and shared by request with numerous family
members.
