Feel free to substitute cured ham for this recipe. I personally prefer non-smoked meats which is why I bought the ham raw, instead of cured - less salt and more of a "meaty" flavor.
Yeah, I know this is sort of long and involved for a simple southern dish, but I'm a firm believer of if you cook with shit, you'll end up with shit, which is why I hate using pre-made stocks.
Finally I dropped my camera, and I think I fucked up the viewfinder, so many pics are off a little bit.
