I simmer them in water to cover with 1 T of pickling spice and a pinch of 
salt added to the water until they are tender. 

They can then be eaten as is or drained and  broiled. 

Another variation I use is to drain them dip in egg and cracker crumbs and 
fry them in lard until golden brown.  MY favorite! :-))

Using the boiling technique above, add 1 cup vinegar for every 3 cups water. 
This produces pickled pig's feet. Remove the feet from the stock when tender 
and boil the stock until reduced by one-third. Pour over feet. This produces 
the jellied pickled pig's feet you often times find in the supermarket.

BTW, you have them in the freezer because they were available at the time. I 
have pig maws in my freezer along with other tasty tidbits like deer 
testicles just because they were there for the getting so I grabbed them up 
while I could. You never know when the Royals may be coming to an event and 
collecting these tasty tidbits as they appear assures you of a  variety of 
special treats for Their Excellencies. :-)
