Nothing wrong with the recipe, good basic start, just I prefer a little change. I par boil the smoked ham hocks because I don't care for strong smoke flavor, add a Tbsp sugar and a couple sprinkles of cinnamon.

This was a pretty easy recipe to make. It needed some more types of spices but I'm not sure what kind would make it better. I used a ham bone instead of the ham hock and and 2 cups of navy beans instead of 1-1/2. Turned out pretty good.

  Typically, ham hocks are usually smoked (and ham bones aren't) so that may have made a taste difference for you.
