I am getting behind in my posts. I did want to post this;
one of my favorite beans to cook with a ham hock and some bacon. I can’t get
them around here so I order the Camellia brand from Amazon. I would follow Mary’s
recipe from Deep South Dish. I cut the recipe in half and just used a half
pound of the beans I soaked overnight.
I had a nice meaty ham hock from my butcher I did for 30
minutes covered with water in my Instant Pot and used the broth to cook the
beans. I had 5 slices of bacon I cooked part way on my smoker to cut down on
the fat. I finished the bacon and some onions in a pot and then added the
beans, broth and seasonings. I simmered them about 2 hours with the lid off and
added broth when needed. I then simmered them with the lid on for an hour.
My wife and DIL had been away for the day to visit our
daughter in Bowling Green where the DIL’s Mother and Aunt met them for lunch
and a craft show. My wife ate some other left overs while I had a nice bowl of
the beans with crackers and butter. Tasted great! I just baked a corn bread and
will have that with the beans tonight for supper.
