I have used this same recipe on white beans and butter beans. I have had success getting people to eat beans who never would eat them before.
Mr. C's Beans
1 Lb Pickled Pork
1 ½ Lbs of sausage
1 Lb Dry Beans
2 Lg. Onions (chopped)
2 Lg. Bell Peppers
¼ tsp black pepper
1 Tsp. Sugar
2 tsp. Vinegar
1/8 tsp powdered cloves
½ tsp Thyme
1/8 tsp. Powdered allspice
3 ribs of celery
4 cloves of garlic (minced)
½ Tsp Tony’s seasoning
Salt to taste
Sauté onions, celery, and bell peppers in a large pot. Slice sausage into ¼ inch pieces. With 2 ½ quarts of water, add sausage, pork and other ingredients except for Tony’s and salt (add these after beans have been cooking for about 3 hours). Cover and set on low heat until water starts to simmer. Do not let boil. Let simmer gently stirring every 15 minutes. When beans are tender, serve over rice.
