I think the first step would be to put them on to boil with some liquid, maybe water or vegetable stock or even chicken broth. Then comes celery, onion & parsley flakes. This would be no matter what you wanted to do with them. Maybe add a bay leaf. Don't use a ton of liquid, but add as needed to keep it boiling. Add as necessary for the recipe you choose.
Is there any meat on the bones? Once they're boiled tender, let them cool & remove the meat, return the meat to the pot. If broth needs more flavor, add bouillon cubes or "Better Than Bouillon."
Next, you can add any of the following:
-barley & mushrooms, cook fully, add sour cream at the end for Pork-Barley Stroganoff.
-potato chunks, carrot chunks, onion chunks for stew, with or without dumplings for Pork Stew.
-thick kluski noodles & chopped carrots for Pork Noodle Soup.
-green pepper, spices & some tomato paste, & pour over rice for Pork Over Rice.
-thicken broth & pour over buttered bread for a quick, cheap, extremely easy meal.
