Preparation / Directions:
{for vegetarians, ham-hocks are optional}
Starting the night before... Wash and sort beans. Rinse well.
Pour into crock-pot. Add ham-hocks. Cover with water to just
below rim. Add other ingredients. Cover and turn on high. After
2 hours, check water, fill to below rim, if needed. Turn to low
and let cook for at least 18 hrs.
Before serving, stir well and remove ham-hock bones. Reminder:
the longer it cooks, the better it tastes. Serve with fresh, hot
cornbread, or garlic bread.
