Preparation:
Soak beans overnight, rinse. Cover with water and cook with ham bone ( fat trimmed off ), onion, bell pepper, celery, salt, pepper, sugar, and bay leaf. While beans are cooking, boil sausage in skillet.
Drain, fry until crisp, and set aside. Cook beans until fork tender ( 1 - 2 Hrs ); then add fried sausage.
JUST before serving, remove bay leaf and add parsley. Serves 8 ( small servings ) and freezes well.
