Try using chicken broth instead of water. It makes the dish much richer. Soak the beans overnight in water. In the morning, rinse well and then return to pot and cover with chicken broth to cook.

In reply to Jeffrey Aymond. I use the leftover Sunday ham joint. Chop some into cubes, leave the rest on the bone, cook all day, then fish the bone out.

In reply to Jeffrey Aymond. Cube your ham in nice size chunks, fry them in about 2 T. Oil add meat and the juices to your pot.

Well, I ended up chopping a ½ lb. of Black Forest ham that I got from the deli. I browned it with the onions and the garlic just as the recipe instructed. I cooked it with the beans in the boiling water for 2½ hrs. It came out spectacular. I also added a good bit of chili powder along with salt while it was cooking and had to add a few more cups of water towards the last hour or so that it was cooking. I really like the result I got, so I’ll probably keep doing it the same way. Nevertheless, I appreciate the input anyway, Lisa.

I assume that I’m supposed to chop the seasoning meat up if I’m using ham. Or do you just add the whole hunk of ham for flavor while cooking the beans and then remove it at the end? I’m sure either way is fine. But just wanted to get some feedback.
