Preparation:
Simmer beans in 6 cups water for 30 minutes. Allow to stand, covered, for 1 1/2 hours or until softened; drain. Put all ingredients into crockpot. Add 1 cup water; stir to blend. Cover pot and cook on LOW for 10 to 12 hours or on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours, stirring occasionally. NOTE: A smoked ham shank or meaty ham bone may be cooked with the beans in place of salt pork. Increase meat portion if desired. |
