Vinegar trotters

I’ve been recently having a craving for all things confinement food, and have been wanting to experiment with cooking vinegar trotters on my own. I looked on the trusty ol’ www, and these are a few recipes I’ve found, that I would love to try soon. This weekend, maybe?

All the recipes I’ve found, point to a few similarities:

• They use trotters, of course. But I’ve also learnt from eating my mom’s rendition of this dish that lean pork can be used in the dish as well, for the more health-conscious.
• Most of the recipes recommend the Dog or Bulldog brand, even my mom asked me to go for that brand.
• All recipes use brown or dark brown sugar (molasses, i believe its called).
