Hog'S Head Cheese - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    5 lb. pig feet or fresh hocks
    5 to 6 lb. Boston roast
    2 to 3 large onions, chopped
    2 chopped bell peppers
    2 to 3 cloves garlic
    2 Tbsp. vinegar
    salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper to taste
    2 bunches finely chopped green onion
    1 bunch finely chopped parsley
Preparation
    Put all ingredients except parsley and green onions in a large heavy pot.
    Cover with water until about one inch over meat. Bring to a boil.
    Reduce heat to low simmer.
    Cook 3 to 4 hours. Strain out meat.
    Add green onions and parsley to liquid. Carefully remove all bone from feet and hocks.
    Chop meat, but not too finely.
    Add back to liquid.
    Taste for seasoning.
    When hot it should taste a little over salty and peppery.
    Pour into any size pan (best if it is 2 inches deep) and let cool.
    Refrigerate overnight.
    If needs more salt or pepper, can be melted and repoured.
